    People try to use terms like “communist” and “fascist” to pretend that authoritarianism only exists on the opposite political side of your belief, but in reality they both have their extreme groups and in a two party system the extremists don’t have anywhere to go so they just naturally vote with whatever side is closest.

    I don’t think that’s ammo though, since I don’t see any democratically minded individuals on here trying that hard to push the extremist tankies out of the left anymore than I see conservatives trying to push neo-nazis out of their party. Both seem to be fine with the extremists just as long as it’s improving their total vote count.

    Authoritarian is authoritarian is authoritarian. Stop using other titles to pretend your side’s authoritarians aren’t a problem.

        I would love for you to explain what about that statement is not factually correct.

        Authoritarianism is the problem. Full stop. “Communist” soviets and “socialist” Nazis both killed millions, oppressed millions, and ruled with an iron fist.

        You can’t deny any of this without revisionist history.
