And Tankies embrace both types of regimes. They love the autocratic Kim regime in North Korea and the PRC and their excuse is that both countries call themselves communist.
“There are sheltered teenagers on the internet with dumb political views, which is indistinguishable from actual attempted sedition by current members of government”
Couldn’t hit you over the head with it any harder.
It is my understanding, and please someone correct me if I’m wrong, that after Nepal ended its monarchy in the 1990s, a democratically elected Marxist-Leninist party took control.
And then they lost the elections eventually and a socialist party took control.
Sorry, I must have misunderstood you. I thought you were saying the world has been moving steadily rightward (which, in my observation, it sadly has) and there were so few examples of things moving to the left in any country in the past 50 years considering corporations are the ones actually pulling the strings.
It has been moving steadily rightwards. What I meant is that at no point in the last 60 years has any far-left group forcibly taken power unlike far-right groups.
Oh so you like to pretend that “the far left” exists in any quantity in the United States and the US is what you’re talking about? Lol.
Have you seriously not heard of Tankies?
I’m not sure what quantity has to do with anything.
And Tankies are not far left because they embrace authoritarianism, which is an inherently conservative idea.
Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic and may be based upon the rule of a party or the military.

>only the usa exists!
Show me one case of far left political organisation taking control of any country worldwide in the last 60 years.
I can only think of one example.
It is my understanding, and please someone correct me if I’m wrong, that after Nepal ended its monarchy in the 1990s, a democratically elected Marxist-Leninist party took control.

But that’s all I can come up with.
Exactly, democratically elected.

Gotcha. Agreed.
