i think really that the issue is fascism, which is where there is a binding (slavery) involved

any patriarch who considers his offspring and chattels as being his servants is a tyrant

it doesn't matter the scale, ultimately, it's the slavery, the use of violence to enforce conformity, the lack of ability to aver and disagree and not be attacked for this difference

i would argue that it's not even about this label socialism at all, but rather, if it's a slave system, it's a cult

the cult of rome, the cult of dEmOcRaCy the cult of pUrItY the cult of eQuAlItY

cults, what defines tyrrany is cultic behavior, it's a perversion of the fealty towards a true monarch or patriarch
