Collectivist authoritarians will always cause totalitarianism as a “step toward Utopia”.

The logical conclusion of their beliefs is to enslave people “for their own good”.

Yeah, fuck the leftist ideology that gave us the PATRIOT act, the legalization of torture, that wages wars on lies with no long term plans, who made the Echelon network a mass surveillance network. Fuck these neocon hippies.

Ah yes, mass surveillance is well known to be only supported by left-wing ideologues, such as Viktor Orbán:

The ideological left of neoliberalism, which has only been gaining ground everywhere since the 70's :)

It isn't the left that keeps pushing authoritarianism around the world, see Orban, Putin, Trump, DeSantis, Abbott and the likes.

Touch some grass.
