  Fascism cannot exist without an authoritarianism element lol. Can it?

      Debatable.

      Fascism isn’t.

        Communism/socialism requires some mechanism to compel cooperation with the collective’s objectives. The greater the degree of central planning, the greater the authoritarianism required to implement it. When you reach a level of centralization sufficient to justify the “communism” label, you’re well into the “authoritarian” quadrants.

  Once you get around to a one-party state left and right become meaningless and they meet back up.

  Hey, dipshits, left or right, Communist or Fascist, it’s the Authoritarianism that sucks. Same shit, different flavor.

  Exactly why I consistently have called myself an anti-authoritarian. Don’t care if it’s mao or franco, they can get fucked

    I think you are still allowed to be that. Saying you are against facism (member of antifa) gets you on terrorist watch lists though.
