Comment on silly costume dance

Left vs. Right is incomplete, though, without consideration to authoritarianism. Authoritarian Leftism, such as that of the USSR, inevitably leads to oppression and centralization of power.

The far-left tells people how they should live and think. I’m a left-leaning pro-trans, pro-immigrant anarchist but as soon as you tell me I am obligated to abide by your ideals otherwise I’m a nazi, you can fuck right off.

That isn’t what I’m doing. I am explaining my perspective, and what the consensus is among most leftists. You are, of course, free to disagree, but all I’ll say is that if you have your own private definition of words which otherwise have well understood meanings, it’ll likely lead you into unproductive conversations and disagreements with people who otherwise completely share your ideals and values.
All the best, much love, solidarity forever!
