Well the far left (tankies) are actively supporting genocidal authoritarian regimes. Comparing extreme right wingers to non extreme left wingers is just complete shit.
Are tankies actually far left? I may be wrong but I don't think you can be far left and authoritarian. Those two don't seem to align, to me that is.
I think the political scale is the problem. Left and right doesn't give enough nuance. We should be focusing on individual problems in their own rights and circumstances instead of using umbrella terms to write off the problems as sypmtoms of said term.
Yeah that's fair
Every communist regime so far has been authoritarian.
Yes that is true, I feel like the semantics of "no true communist" are valid, authoritarianism doesn't fit left wing in my view
No true Scotsman is a logical fallacy. It’s literally nonsense.
Yes I know, that's why I said it feels like but I didn't intend to make it as an argument, that's why I highlighted the fallacy
