    the left is literally about creating a stateless society. The term ‘left-wing’ comes from the French Revolution in which members of parliament who were against restoring the monarchy sat on the left side.

    maybe have a look into left politics and theory before establishing that an entire philosophical set of ideas is ‘authoritarian’.

        i would love to know the sources of media you choose to consume, i would also love to know who you think ‘represents’ the left.

        even those who i think represent the left would be considered ‘not left enough’ or some other bullshit considering its an inherently, extremely disparate grouping of thousands of ideologies.

              Here on lemmy there are left communities and they are completely clear in their messaging that if you don’t accept their narrative you’re a liberal.

                Right wing is the authoritarians.
                How have you mixed these up ?

                The ring wing want to force Christianity in school. To make everyone their religion. They remove diversity policies

                They are the ones keeping people from identifying with their gender on identification documents. Or using the appropriate bathroom.

                They don’t want women to have autonomy over their own body.

                They literally are trying to force people to be a specific way and remove their rights to autonomy.

                That’s authoritarian.

                You know about the paradox of tolerance, right?

                Tolerating right wing ideology only allows it to become dominant.

                We can’t tolerate intolerance and misinformation.

                It was that tolerance that got us into this shit show we are in today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

                  I’m openly hostile toward the right wing.

                  These leftists blame me for being a part of a system that is inherently evil.

                  To live up to their standard I have to be some sort of charactiture freedom fighter leading armies against the most sophisticated war machine in human history.
