    In all of human history? Well, before the invention of money, I don’t know. But after the invention of money? Other humans.

    Rupert Murdoch.

    That monster’s contribution to climate denial borders on apocalyptic - throw in extras like eroding democracy, stoking racial hatred, and contributions to class warfare like fighting off affordable access to to healthcare make him a tough one to beat.

      That cat is Ultra-Hitler. He is 100 times more evil than regular Hitler.

      You thought the total death toll of the Holocaust was bad? That evil kitty kills 10 million people each day. No dictator can even come to the fraction of his power.

    I assume this is referring to China. Ask anyone in China about their generous social benefits, which are even more paltry than in the US, and you’ll see how “left” the Chinese “Communist” Party really is

      I don’t plan on visiting China anytime soon, but you seem knowledgeable in the subject; can you link me some sources? Thanks

      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

      Mao killed more.

      Fortunately, he only killed Chinese people, and they don’t mind, so we’re all good.

        Like personally? I often feel like attributing famines solely to one person is a bit messed up, although there are cases like Bengal where specific government individuals were enthusiastic .

        The party later distanced themselves from him somewhat, so presumably they thought his ideas could be improved on but I had thought a lot of china and USSR famines rested on really dumb ideas about industrial agriculture that were popular in many places + officials hiding bad numbers + desperate need to show immediate superiority of alledgedly better numbers + upheavals of massive civil was and ww2.
