I basically agree with you here although I try not to look down on people (sometimes I can’t help it 😆) because I see communists, free market capitalists, and traditional moderates as equally prone to “sheepishness” in general.
I think the old capitalism vs. communism paradigm is outdated and we are living in a centralist vs. decentralist paradigm now. Both Communists and Capitalists have the capacity to be centralists, as most are now, because even individualism and the idea of competition can be manipulated into promoting centralist policies.

Yeah, you are right about that.
