Been seeing a lot of people coming in here handwringing about 'red fash' and 'muh authoritarianism.'

Figuring that this will be a common occurrence for a while, so wanted to make a collective thread here. The purpose of this is to just have one spot as so we don't fill up the comm with a ton of posts about it.

Post away, comrades!

      Authoritarianism is when you resist being crushed into paste by the capitalist powers of the world.

        Well only if you achieve some modicum of success greater than Rojava or EZLN.

      Authoritarianism is when the left calls out genocidal language and defends itself against genocidal actions by fascists actively perpetrating genocide

        Then they turn around and call us the genocide supporters.

      Authoritarianism is not doing what America tells you to.
