North Korea is a totalitarian dictatorship, but it is also left wing.
It has public ownership, it is anti capitalist. Production and the entire economy is centrally controlled and it was founded as a Marxist state with the backing of the soviet union.
You are among the many here who are confusing authoritarianism/liberalism with left/right ideologies. Funny how you mentioned Spain and Portugal but avoided Italy.
This is the exact opposite of what I am saying.
The left/right spectrum is being conflated with the authoritarian/libertarian spectrum.
I’ve given many examples to counter the claim that “the left” won’t worship a leader.
Your jokey comment is highlighting the misconception.
Authoritarianism <-> liberalism
Is a different axis to
Left <-> Right
I’ve billed a client for thinking about their problem while commuting on a train. I don’t see much difference.
The former communist bloc took a lot longer than an instant. Their leaders were worshiped by some of the population.
North Korea is far left and their leader and his family are almost deities.
The left is perfectly capable of supporting Authoritarianism.
Authoritarianism can be both left and right.
Maybe not you personally.
I’m only highlighting that (some) people on the left are just as capable of blind worship as those on the right.
Oh yes they do. Lenin, Mao Zedong and (to a much lesser extent) AOC and Bernie.
Rose tinted glasses fit on the heads of everyone.
Not if you are a state actor in charge of a well financed honeypot scheme collecting blackmail evidence used to control the business and political elite of western nations.
Then you do everything you can to keep the list of those you’ve compromised a secret. Even if you have to sacrifice a powerful (but stupid) piece.
Wasn’t that also true before though?
This is neither shitposti nor shiitake
He’s such a fun guy that there’s not mushroom to party.
It shows there are more Democrats on the list than Bill Clinton.
He ran to avoid jail.
Are brains, meat?
If it has been raining men then they are probably in all the yards.
At 108% he looks reasonable.
Human nature dude. Just because the right easily attracts brainless sheep, that doesn’t mean the left can’t.
