If so, was it polled somewhere?

    Oh and here it is, the American shit pulled out of storage.

    YES! The world looks upon your fetid empire of cheese and right wing politics and weeps.

      you’re dodging the point so blatantly here. Was it inherently right wing to use violence to force the confederates to free their slaves and disband their secessionist army, and then to use political repression to interfere, however ineffectively, with southern efforts to keep their way of life alive after the war. Was the authoritarian means they used – warfare and political repression — inherently right wing, even though the objective was to free enslaved people.

      yes, I know that many in the union were racist too, and grant and sherman participated in the genocides of american indian tribes, and all of that. that’s not what we’re talking about though, we’re talking about authoritarianism, and whether authoritarianism specifically is what makes something right wing.

        You are dodging this entire topic. I will not discuss any USA history, and I stand by my statement. Authoritarian is far right, all of these examples were authoritarian actions where taken are by the current definition far right.

          Is Cuba right wing? Yes or no. You dodged that question right at the start and changed the subject to China and Russia. Is Cuba right wing.

            Yes. Since the leadership has transitioned to a family rule and has become authoritarian in protecting the brother, it by current definition would be far right.

            Edit: also you are confusing me with another person, I was the one that pointed out you cherry picking your nations.

              I’m speechless tbh. I don’t know what I can say to someone who calls Cuba right wing. You are inventing your own language.

                Read the current definition and dispute it then. They if I am not mistaken might have a new leader as of 2021, this would go a long way to prove they are not an authoritarian government.

                  the ideological commitment of the Cuban government is to achieve the equality of human beings, by abolishing capitalism and fighting bigotry. America, just across the water, has made it necessary for them to adopt a degree of authoritarianism to protect themselves. It is actually fucking absurd to call them right wing. Take care, I don’t want to continue this.
