      Ok, two authoritarian leaders the modern left finds pretty abhorrent and regularly repudiates. You might as well say that Lincoln represents the modern right if you’re going that way.

      You know what I meant. A modern, mainstream leftist—think Bernie or AOC, or leftwards—calling for mass murder or policies that would plainly result in mass murder.

        Also, people forget that there is a left right axis, and a vertical Authoritarian/Anarchy axis.

        Authoritarian thought is not left or right biased.

          Indeed, but that’s step two after the other person realizes that they’re just saying “lol boths sidez samesies” with no basis for that opinion except enlightened centrism. (So never)

        I mean Biden supports Israeli genocide… Or is he a conservative these days? Can’t keep up with imaginary American bullshit.

                  Prove it. But first, answer my question. Trying to divert the conversation won’t disguise the fact that you’re making false equivalences based upon nothing.
