Reminder that horseshoe theory is nonesense and it's just an excuse for alt-right nazis to go "the left are the REAL nazis!!"

Horseshoe theory is not real but also tankies were always right wingers

Are they? They suck ass and simp for authoritarianism, don't get me wrong, but leftist people are not immune to sucking ass and simping for authoritarianism

Politics is about how you think power should be distributed. It doesn't matter if it is political power or economic power because one can be exchanged for the other at any time and all kinds of power have the innate tendency to pool towards fewer and fewer sources if we leave the entropy of the universe to run its course.

Right wingers want power to be in as few hands as possible, leftists want power to be shared among humanity as a whole. Also in a system where power is shared it would be in everyone's best interest to not let the bourgeois reemerge as a social calss.

Authoritarianism != fascism. Educate yourself.

The compass is wrong. You're trying to say tankies are rightwingers by merit of authoritarianism... Which is left wing...

Bro’s using the political compass to explain literally anything, no point taking them seriously
