    You should read about Authoritarianism. It’s been a while we consider in sociology it can only be right wing, because left wing people doing authoritarian shit are ultimately using right wing train of thought and rethoric. China and Russia’s history are no exception.

      Even if you believe that authoritarian left is an oxymoron, it’s easier to label them as such, then to argue to everyone that they are right wing, while they cover themselves in the colors and symbols of the left.
      It’s really a question of when to use nuance and when to make strong statements with getting bogged down in semantics.
