    You don’t need to be a liberal to be against authoritarianism and the tankies that defend it.

    Liberals are authoritarian too, but by rhetorical sleight of hand they call it rules-based international order or market forces

      but what about the authoritarian totalitarian stalinist maoist lenninist marxist cultural-marxist collectivized red bureaucratic planned economy KGB censored thought police speech police communist socialist surveillance slave police state dictatorship regime? Huh? What if they take my balls and distribute it?

      • Um… is Stalinism still an option? Can we have that, please? I liked him.

        (Every time I see a pic of him with little kids, exuding Father of the Nation energy, I want a dad hug. I’m not even sexually into men and simping for DILF older Stalin, I just want a perfectly innocent dad hug from the commie daddy. I’d also take one from the Father of Communism, though, I bet Marx gave decent dad hugs too.)

        Also, yeah we have a dictatorship, a dictatorship of the proletariat! Read a leftist glossary of terms sometime, lib.

        A little authoritarianism is all right, if it’s what we need to make communism happen and get people to do things like “read their theory before being involved in political life”.

              • Proud tankie, indeed! If we need tanks rolling through the streets to make socialism happen, then let’s have tanks in the streets! Plus, then, I get to see commie tanks outside! Those things look cool!

                Of course I’m totalitarian! I want global socialism, and sometimes you gotta get heavy handed, fighting a class war!

                The Cold War era Iron Curtain was nothing, we’ll surround the entire world with the next one! Make communism the Accepted Way Of Life and the capitalists are the ones who need to be Liberated and brought Democratic Centralism!

                Soviet dominance? All local councils ultimately report to the Supreme Soviet, and vice versa? Yes please! Excellent idea! Let’s break down cultural barriers! Another Internationale, no Trots allowed this time! Warsaw Pact grows and grows! Soviet power waxes, as capitalism wanes and dies!

                Thanks for the brutal, powerful, and lovely images, comrade!
