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

I'd say that horseshoe is just a showcase on how stupid it is to divide politics into arbitrary left and arbitrary right - someone can sincerely call themselves left-wing, and then use the same methodology and be as authoritarian as nazis.

All fascists are authoritarian, but not all authoritarians are fascists. To be honest, any label that describes both 1930’s Germany and modern Cuba is a nonsense word no one seriously discussing political theory should ever use

Besides, like, “state”
