First of all, this is great and deserves its own thread.
Second, there's a fatal flaw: authoritarians and capitalists (same difference) are predisposed in favor of fascism, and that's why the behavior of fuckwads like Trump keeps getting free passes and attention. When leftists try the same thing, they get ignored, censored, COINTELPRO'd, or even just straight-up murdered.
In other words, it's a good strategy and should work, all things being equal, but all things are not equal and that makes it a high-body-count strategy (even if there's no better one available).
