there are no left authoritarians in office.

liberals are not leftists. haven't been since 1848.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Dunno why 1848, but those students on the streets of Vienna whom "dear father field marshal" Radetzky hanged on many lanterns were not leftist. They were pretty republican-nationalist, right liberal that is.

are you... are you defending the original incident that lead to the term 'tankie'? impressive.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't get your thought process. The original incidents were Soviet interventions in Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

sorry when I hear about a name from that language family I I st assume. I ignore most soviet history and as much american history as I can because its stupid and can be summarized 'and then they figured out how to make even worse decisions! hooray!'

Any liberal who supports disarming civilians is a left authoritarian.

[–] fuckthepolice@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Only the fringe lunatics think it's even possible to disarm a population. Far lefties like myself realize the power that small arms represent in the fight against fascism. Marx said to arm up.

fuck that dude about so much, but yeah, he wasnt wrong about everything.

that means anti armor and anti drone weapons, too!

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 0 points 7 months ago

Marx also assumed that revolution eventually leads to a communist utopia.

Thus far they have only led to authoritarian regimes. Even Cuba is little more than a benevolent dictatorship.

Weapons are a good way to combat other weapons, not ideology.

I disagree, why do you insist on associating libs with the left? (yeah disarming people is faschy)
