Legault is just consolidating state ownership of the commanding heights of the economy, like any good communist would.

Is there a Godwin’s law, but for communism?

It’s implicit.
Besides, Legault is. good old-fashioned capitalist mononcle with tendencies toward invoking ethnicity, traditionalist historicity, and culture wars. If you want to call him a dictator, fascist seems more appropriate than communist – though still an exaggeration. For now.

How is it an exaggeration? Websters defines fascism as “a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.” This describes the CAQ quite accurately. They exalt the Quebecois nation while officially denigrating all other cultures and eliminating the individual rights of members thereof; they are seeking to dismantle or neutralize all competing institutions (English or French) and rule society by means of an étatiste bureaucracy that answers only to the premier; the economy, justice system, and unaccountable civil service are systemically racist, and this order is maintained by a set of systemically racist and unaccountable censorial and policing entities; and the population is effectively divided into permanently unequal castes based on class, ethnicity, and race while equality of opportunity and of condition and social mobility are intentionally diminished by educational and social welfare policies, and privatization of socio-political enclosures with authority over increasingly large areas of common life, but no legal or political responsibility.
