Would you say they were ghouls?

Do you mean in the world or in charge of the USA? Because the current guy is the closest we’ve gotten to an authoritarian so far, and he’s not left-wing.

Probably because of their balls.*

*You set yourself up for that one.

Sure, it’s possible you didn’t like either woman who gained the Democratic nomination for President both times it happened, but you’ll give the third a fair shake. Anything is possible.

I didn’t imply there were famous American* left-wing authoritarian leaders who have had an opportunity to gain the power they desire. I was talking about Americans on the left who would willingly support some ill-meaning populist who parroted their favorite talking points. They think harm could never come from someone on their side despite numerous historical examples because those people are retconned to be right-wing once they seize power.

You’ve stepped in on behalf of the other guy and managed to really derail things.

*Chavez, Maduro, Fidel, and Raul are/were all Americans, and not only Americans speak English, but I know what you meant.

Recently, the Castros, Chavez, Maduro, and Xi.

It’s either that or the way people perceive female politicians is slanted.

It’s Karl Marx or no one.

It’s 2026.

“No True Communist”

No country claiming to be Communist is actually Communist.

Said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.): “Personally I was of the opinion … that, ‘What are we going to get in 10 days that we didn’t get?’”

You only got what you got because you funded DHS for two more weeks. Now you have all the leverage because social services aren’t on the chopping block anymore.

If you don’t have at least one of the phrases “controlled opposition” or “manufactured consent” in your comment, you’re not really a good bootlicker for left-wing authoritarians.

In b4 “All authoritarians are right-wing” and “No True Communist” objections.

You have to ask yourself, “What would Leon Trotsky think of this?” Then you’ll understand where the Worldwide Socialist Web Site is coming from.

You can peruse their Marxist library if you need more ideas.

When did we start repeating everything people calling into the FBI said as fact?

There were a lot of typos in the linked announcement.

Belongs in the Onion community.

Apparently, dehumanizing one’s opponents isn’t seen as a problem anymore.

No doubt Harris would have done this too, to serve her corporate masters.

What’s that? But I thought bOtH sIdEs are the same!

I wish we had a good term to describe making assumptions about how an individual will behave based only on their nationality, race, or ethnicity.

If they’re brown, they can’t let you down.
