Far left is mostly also authoritarian. They say they want everyone to have the same rights but get angry or try to silence people that don’t agree with their radical ways. I’m not talking about the left in general but the far left. As such they see it needed to achieve their goals, even if it official is equality for example.
Edit: Removed “Tankies definitely are authoritarian.” They are kinda a weird case where they believe or say they believe in Marxist Leninist ideology but then support countries that dress as communist even if they are ruled by a small elite or are actually mostly capitalist. I believe they are kinda gullible far left with mostly a “US bad” sentiment so China and Russia must be good. They are not solely representative of far left authoritarianism
You just don’t like the idea of such an appalling group considering themselves as part of the left since thats where you think you belong and you want nothing to do with them. Yes russia and china aren’t truly socialist countries but far left people definitely also have authoritarian tendencies. Otherwise they would probably just be left.

Tankies aren’t the only option over there. Authoritarianism is just Authoritarianism, no matter what dressing they throw on it.
Yeah I know. It was one prominent example I could think of on the spot but you can definitely be authoritarian without being a tankie
tankies are right wingers who use leftist vocabulary

what in your opinion do “left” and “right” mean
There is no such thing as a “far left.” Go ask Centrism 101 for a refund.
I can confirm it exists because I seem to be one when Im honest with people
Are these the same people who think a genocidal imperialist like Joe Biden is a “radical leftist?”
“i say it doesn’t exist, so it doesn’t.”
yawn
If you have any proof that it exists, hey, I’m all ears.
