    Lenin, Mao Zedong

    No one in “the left” supports far right authorizations…

    The confusion may be you’re not aware far right authoritarians lie constantly, especially about what they support and why they support it

            I know the chart you’re referring to, but we’re speaking in the context of US politics here. The wave function has collapsed to “right” = authoritarian and “left” = liberal. So, your original assertion presents the false equivalence that has allowed us to get to this current state.

              The wave function has collapsed on the right to authoritarian but on the left people can still be either liberal or authoritarian.

              Union leaders are left wing and are worshiped as authoritarians.

                I dunno man, that’s pretty flimsy. I can’t even name a union leader. Years of right-wing authoritarianism have rendered unions ineffective and obsolete.

                  Yeah. Union leaders are usually unknown, unless you are part of the that union. Like I said. Local.

                  Lots of cop union leaders are locally famous. Even though they are a tool of authority, they still fight for left wing ideals of workers rights and privileges (often to the detriment of the populace).

                  I’m choosing North American examples to stay in the thread’s topic. South America and Europe have more famous left wing leaders that are worshiped.
