    People are OK with auth right. But auth left? Oh no, that’s not gonna happen. The military would coup the shit out of that real quick.

      Auth Left is still inherently abusive.

      No matter how much you pretend that it’s for the greater good, authoritarianism will always be detrimental to the relatively powerless masses.

        Oh I’m not pretending anything. Just saying that auth left would never get as far as Trump is getting.

              And I’m pointing out that history repeats itself when you don’t learn from it.

              Just like the fascists of today are fucking shit up like the ones in 1920s-40s Europe, the auth left extremists would fuck shit up like the likes of Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot.

              The horseshoe theory shitlibs trot out to defame the left may be bullshit (definitely is), but auth left oppresses people because it’s auth.

              You just don’t get good things from a select group excessively controlling everybody, no matter which group that is and how good their initial intentions are.

          Yeah, but it’s not like auth left stops there.

          You can have egalitarian taxation and common sense regulations without being generally authoritarian, and you should.
