    You realise a horseshoe doesn’t touch at the tips… right? It’s a theory of extremes being similar in results, but different in key aspects due to being on opposite sides. It’s not hard to understand and is a theory taught in history courses. The reason I say it “joins in the middle” is because of how it ends up applying to the peasants in similar authoritarian fashion. It’s not that deep.

      No, what I’m saying is you’re being as foolish as tankies when you buy that BS. Any communist worth the time of day understands ANY authoritarian is a piece of trash worth discarding, not honoring and cracking down on their neighbors for…

      By subscribing to the horseshoe theory, you are implying that communism/socialism literally ARE headed toward the same place as fascism, instead of having been merely userped by authoritarians and the powerful. That is completely ignorant to the very intent of those political ideologies…
