Who are these people that are not arguing for implementing their ideas democraticly?
What undemocratic ideas are they proposing?
What example do you have of something that started democratic but "then before you know it" ended up with oppression and totalitarianism?
Then stop trying if you find it too hard to contribute a serious comment!
You're asking me what I'm alluding to and what I'm projecting and asking me to explain things I haven't said and other backwards and inside-out things, rather than responding to the actual arguments I'm making myself. Seems like you're bringing some kind of baggage to the discussion that I'm not party to.
It's clear now that you're not going substantiate anything since it would just display your ignorance.
The original question was 'what’s wrong with trying to force everyone to be financially more or less equal'. What’s wrong with it is every time someone tries this it ends up hell on earth.
That’s it. That’s the whole point. No implications, no allusions.
If that's not good enough for you, sorry nothing I can do about that. Maybe move on?

No surprise that you latch on to tone policing either. I rest my case.
