Man, being a Western terminally online "anarchist" must be so depressing/confusing

    The left right spectrum is a lazy bidirectional metaphor for all of politics that was born in France in the late 1700s. It's a shame it's still used. But to assert that MLs aren't generally understood as being to the "left" of Fascists, Conservatives, Liberals, Social Democrats, etc. is absurd. Vague statements about ML "authoritarianism" in defense of revolutionary gains does not catapult them to the right of the people defending imperialism and private property. :debord-tired:

      The accusation of authoritarianism largely revolve around western pigs being stripped of their ill-gotten gains and exiled/imprisoned for historical atrocities.

      Anti-colonialism is dressed up as authoritarianism while efforts to claw back a century of colonial losses is painted as voluntary free market Libertarianism.

      Right/Left just becomes :us-foreign-policy:
