      Authoritarian left… What is this?

      It’s an oxymoron. Authoritarianism is right-wing regardless of how the “authority” brands itself.

        Left and right are generally agreed to be on the economic spectrum. Authoritarianism is not on this spectrum.

          And thus the political compass came to be, deciding that one axis on a sliding scale wasn’t enough to capture the nuances of political ideologies, but two axes was plenty!

        The right claim that authoritarianism is a left-wing thing. I had an argument with someone who claimed that anarchocommunists could not possibly exist. You’re bnoth wrong, authoritarianism is an orthogonal axis
