In my mind, the idea of left politics is to democratize society as much as possible. Any type of Authoritarianism goes against that, including the idea of a single party with a single leader. It’s anti-democratic, and therefore does not fit into the category of leftist politics, even if they call themselves left. No racist is gonna call himself racists. And fashists neither.

Then you agree with many hexbears. As well as there being plenty of anarchists, most people there believe in some kind of fundamental democratisation at multiple levels, rather than a single election with two parties and very manufactured dynamics every 2-4 years.

Not sure what you’re trying to say, honestly. Democratic values == evil communism?
