Is socialism inherently authoritarian? The answer to that question is, yes. In this video refuting Viki 1999 I make the clear argument that may seem repetitive for why socialism is authoritarian. Viki 1999 made a long-winded argument that completely ignores the economic reality of socialism, not only ignores the most common dictionary definition of socialism.
As I've argued, Viki doesn't comprehend why socialism is a contradiction to both liberty and democracy. I have explained numerous times on the economic calculation problem which you can get a fuller explanation on that topic I covered in previous videos, check them out below:
• profits and losses: youtube.com/watch?v=mVbbFVKWdhI
• Variety of Options: youtube.com/watch?v=bFoqXD_o6Wc
• Fuller Explanation: youtube.com/watch?v=Zjzofn0qzQ4
The economic calculation problem destroys the argument and explains why it is impossible to have central planning of the economy whilst having democracy, which contradicts her argument. Even if she uses the argument of decentralisation it makes no logical sense as socialism is defined around collectivism, political centralisation is a big part of what defines socialism. But even if she uses that argument, her communism requires keeping an entire nations population on the same page and having an economy with trillions of products and the vast difference in demand from each individual, she would have no choice but to use central planning.
I had an interesting discussion as mentioned on the Non-Aggression Principle somewhat relative to this topic issue for a better solution, you can check that out here:

It never fails to amaze me how socialists think stripping an individual of their rights and liberty can somehow be passed off as libertarian, as I explain, their use of control is a contradiction of liberty, whether trying to organise society or the economy, everything is about control when it comes to socialism.
