Come back to reality mate, the "auth communists" have no political power and no motion.
Being afraid of an authoritarian communist takeover in the US is like being afraid of an invasion by the Mongol Empire. It would be scary, it would be bad, but its just a silly fantasy.
"But authoritarians always kill libs when they do."
You don't see the catch 22?
Fascists have taken control of the most powerful country in the history of the world. Trump is following a gameplan to destroy nearly every institution in modern civilization.
"But some Tankies on the internet have some bad ideas too!"
You don't see which is the bigger priority?
Ally with the left fash that refused to vote for the milquetoast liberal in order to defeat the right fash? Sure. Not that the dems didn't fuck themselves over, but the absolute least they could have done was vote for kamala and they couldn't even do that.
Don't whitewash genocide denial and dictatorship support as "bad ideas." They are ideas fundamentally incompatible with lib left politics.
K, so you didn't check what the auth comms did in germany in the 30s.
Yeah but in 1930s Germany auth comms started with actual political power. They had an actual political party and gained 10-15% of the vote, which is a level of power modern Tankies could only dream of.
If we are worried about German politics in the 30s, then you should read about what the Liberals did back then, because they are once again capitulating to fascism.
The ones that were blamed for the fire and started the majors loss of liberties for all under the Auth right Nazis?
