To be honest with you, I see a lot less of the Authoritarian Right than I do of the Authoritarian Left…
And as a person who does not like authoritarianism, it informs my opinion.
What does authoritarian left look like in this scenario? Neoliberalism?
I don't see it as much. Neolibs are smart enough not to profess all their plans on social media in ALL CAPS. Keep a dignified front and no one on the inner will notice your hands crossed behind them.
No, it looks like stifling censureship and policing petty infractions while simultaneously committing (or allowing) injustice based on whatever has been decided to be a darling.
I commented on it below; the UK is a heavy handed police state right now under left leaning ideology.
Well I guess horshoe theory is right. Because thst matches the US right now.
I just want Healthcare and to not be laid off every 2-3 years.
Well, time to get your eyesight checked maybe? If Trump sending troops to major blue cities isn't Authoritarian, I don't know what is.
The representation of "radical left" (whatever that means) is no more than a drop in the bucket compared to the rise of authoritarian right-wing viewpoints in the media and especially politics.
Communist political parties practically don't exist while authoritarian right wing parties running on austerity, cracking down on personal freedoms, and spreading hate towards all sorts of out-groups are gaining mainstream appeal in a lot of the world.
Unless you're using the bastardized American definition of "radical left" where any viewpoint to the left of centre, like "our systems are crumbling, rich people should be taxed more" is labeled "radical left".
