    I thought you were anti-tankie? He should have just kept voting for moderate Republicans.

    In what fucking world is a revolutionary automatically a tankie? I’m sorry you don’t see the difference between totalitarian police states with a thin coat of red paint and “Any political violence”.

    I thought elections in a bourgeois democracy were always pointless. I guess Stephen Douglas would have fought slavery too, just like Lincoln.

      All definitions of “AutHoRItaRiaNisM” that .world, piefed, or other right-wing lemmy instances subscribe to is anything that modern centrist liberals don’t like or involve “political violence”. Lincoln and John Brown would be “Violent Authoritarians” according to modern liberals if they existed today.

      It goes back to the definition of a liberal: A liberal is anyone that is anti-war, except for all the current wars and is in favor of liberation struggles, except for any that are still ongoing.
