The right has it's authoritarian leanings as well, but theirs are on the side of private ownership, whereas the left prefers government power. When the government and private enterprise work together to consolidate power, the dichotomy switches from being between private and public power to the people vs totalitarianism. This is why left and right are aligning, because the totalitarianists are obviously aligning against us. We don't get distracted by the things we disagree on, we become laser focused on the clear and present danger.Once this threat is neutralized, Brand will go back to spouting off about his communist ideals.</blockquote>
