@Nocta_Senestra@eldritch.cafe Traditional political science does not see "authoritarianism" as an ideology. The usual way to use "left" and "right" in political science focuses on economics, how control over resources is distributed. The common split is "right" = more private property, "left" = commuinity/people/"the people through the state". The latter usually ends up as authoritarian, and even though it is not *your* kind of left, the only meaningful label is "left authoritarian" . .@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social

@hakona@im.alstadheim.no @Nocta_Senestra@eldritch.cafe @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social It's a rather poor understanding of politics to categorize left and right only through possession of private property. Considering that the left only ends up in authoritarianism makes for a good right-wing story-telling. It works well if you want to cherry-pick History.
