I love how this reply of yours is just a bunch of bad faith arguments, especially the first part that neatly ignores the fact that the state owns everything in NK, not unlike how a company owns and runs its property. I fully expect you to say that nazi germany was left wing because "national SOCIALISM!!!!!!!!!!!"

    There's no bad faith. I'm giving historical and contemporary examples of left wing authoritarian worship.

    There hasn't even been an argument put forward to back the claim that this is impossible.

    left wing authoritarian worship.

    You mean ENFORCED "worship"

    That IS NOT what is happening with Trump today and you know it. You are absolutely arguing in bad faith.

  • Yes, partially enforced, partially natural. Similarly with Trump. He's doing his best to enforce it.

    Historically authoritarianism has grown from the left wing (but it usually comes from the right). Recognising this helps guard against it happening again.
