    If you’re as “far left” that you support dictators and don’t even like democracy then you’re not left in my opinion.

      I mean, if you imagine left and right more of as a circle that connects, it all makes a lot more sense. The center of the line becomes the top of the circle that gets more extreme until you have fascists and authoritarian communists sitting next to each other, hating each other, but also looking mostly indistinguishable to anyone further up the circle.

        Unironic horseshoe-theory argument as if that shit isn’t laughable on its face and gets regularly refuted. Fascism was not and is not opposed by centrist liberals. It’s opposed by leftists.
