    Authoritarianism is when taxes pay for defense and civil space program?

    Yeah I get it, out military is bloated, does bad things, and we keep the industrial complex going buy selling weapons to almost anyone who will buy them.

    The government paying SpaceX to build rockets is not authoritarianism.
