my problem with this thread; u can't tell who is actually communist and authoritarian, and who is just authoritarian
Right wing auth isn't exactly better than left wing auth
Equating communists you disagree with with fascism is holocaust trivialization, according to mainstream Jewish scholars of the holocaust.

Not every right wing extremist caused the holocaust, and besides, if you compare all right wing extremists with the nazis at their peak power, you could also consider yourself a stalinist for downplaying his actions by simplifying history as some people I disagree with
If you compare right wingers with little power to left wingers with little power you get mass shooters vs mutual aid enthusiasts.
If you compare right wingers with a lot of power to left wingers with a lot of power, the fascists have a spectacular kill count and the left wingers are less bad than the bourgeois democracy baseline.
