      Are tankies actually far left? I may be wrong but I don’t think you can be far left and authoritarian. Those two don’t seem to align, to me that is.

          Yes that is true, I feel like the semantics of “no true communist” are valid, authoritarianism doesn’t fit left wing in my view

        I think the political scale is the problem. Left and right doesn’t give enough nuance. We should be focusing on individual problems in their own rights and circumstances instead of using umbrella terms to write off the problems as sypmtoms of said term.
