Far left extremism - silencing all opposition, one party, everyone is equal (except those who are more equal of course), corruption, executions, burning of books, and much more.
If it sounds very similar to right wing extremism, congrats, you've discovered a cool fact: all extremism is bad.
If you think I'm pulling it out of my ass, those things happened in my country when we were under Soviet communist occupation. Also extreme poverty, never seen before or after their occupation.
Is that actually far left extremism, or just fascism with a misleading name tag?
Far left extremism. Soviets wanted to create utopia where everyone is equal, except the leaders of course. That's not gonna change. And then it cascades into straight up dictatorship.
Still sounds like fascism.
Indeed it does. That was my whole point.
If someone hands you a bowl of shit and tells you it's chocolate pudding, that doesn't make actual chocolate pudding shitty.
But, I can definitely understand being skeptical of chocolate pudding after eating a bowl of shit.
At the very least I guess we can both agree that we need to check our pudding for pieces of shit before we dive right in.
