      Trump doesn’t really know or care about what words mean. He cares about how words feel.

      Unfortunately, many people are the same way.

      Marxist is not extreme left, just a kind of left. You can be anything from a socdem to a bolshevik while remaining Marxist.

      And stalinism one can call rather right and fascist, at the same time with Marxism used as a foundation, and it’s not as easy as you’d think to find counterarguments to what they’ve come up in USSR to tie a totalitarian state to Marxism.

      So there’s one thing which is all these at the same time - stalinism.

      By the way, if we give Trump’s word hu-uge benefit of doubt and forget for a minute that we are humans, thus tribal apes, this is not that wrong.

      She’s talking about regulating prices and other populist and pretty socialist things, but she doesn’t talk about killing oligopolies and preferential treatment. Which is kinda close to state capitalism with populist elements. Which would in rough strokes make things closer to stalinism in economic part.
