Communism and anarchism are about as far afield as two systems could be.

I mean you've seen the "strange bedfellows" posts on here about Dearborn, right?

Yes just remove the anarchism. You can tell a person more aligned with the left chose the order.

Indeed. You will find that with any linear depiction of Communism and Fascism as polar opposites. Straighten your horseshoe, and you basically have the spectrum I posted.

When someone's logic is so tortured as to assume max government control (Marxism) directly abuts no government at all (Anarchy) on a political spectrum, he needs to transition to different field ..... unless he's a comedian.

Well the true believers think that "Left-Anarchism" is real and doable. That's why you know the ultimate end-game being that is from a lefty.

You don't see anarcho-capitalism by fascism unless, again, done by lefties.

Right.
Meanwhile, in Alibaba's heyday, China had smoothly slipped from communism to fascism.

Then when Xi felt threatened by Jack Ma's wealth, he seized a bunch of it, disappeared Ma, and slipped China right back to communism. That nonchalant to-and-fro transition does not occur if an entire political spectrum is traversed ... twice!

The OP of this thread is arguing to destroy liberty "for my side to win". Rog disagrees with that liberty-destroying authoritarianism, and so do I. THAT is a "retarded statement"?


None of this is true.

There is certainly one poster in this thread who is acting very much like an authoritarian.

We’ve gotten everything from “no one has answered my question”, to “this thread is about”, etc.

We're in month 21 of your devolution into lunacy.

You don't have the capacity to ascertain truth.

So don't try.

How are either of those "authoritarian"?

I'm not forcing people to answer, hence why nobody has.

I'm not forcing people to explain how this thread isn't about promoting right-authorities, hence why nobody has.

Unforced honesty is not authoritarianism.
