You lost me at "Covidocracy". What the governments did/are doing during the worldwide pandemic have nothing to do with totalitarianism. It is totally a health issue. Right-wing paranoia has fueled the hatred of the Left ("reactance"), thereby putting many lives at risk. Vaccines are of utmost importance to achieve herd immunity. The big mistake being made here is politicizing everything. Science and health and politics are separate. Now, I agree that the Left is pushing socialism and Marxism in other ways. But I absolutely disagree with you regarding the pandemic. I am an Independent and not of either Left nor Right political persuasion.
