she is, personally, with no consideration for her husband, extremely conservative. she's one of those terrifying people from a soviet or post soviet state who views putin as the great protector from the evils of communism, ignoring he's doing all the worst things about the soviet union without a single one of the upsides

    Fascism cannot exist without an authoritarianism element lol. Can it?

    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.

    Like I said. It's debatable, whereas authoritarianism is quite literally intertwined into fascism at the conceptual level. Maybe Communism can't be separated from authoritarianism at the practical execution level, I'm not here to debate that. I am telling you that they can be conceptually separated, fascism cannot.

    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
