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.
Just like Cuban-Americans who supported Trump because they hate Castro.
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.
to be fair, those are the gusano burgeoise the cubans wanted out. of course they are dicks and hate castro.
Fascism cannot exist without an authoritarianism element lol. Can it?
Nor can communism.
Debatable.
Fascism isn’t.

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