Good point! I’m squarely on the right in today’s climate and I think I’m more classically liberal than reddit’s authoritarian left that I had in mind when I wrote that. I suppose I meant to say “orthodox leftist thought”. It’s hard not to get turned around here in opposite world.
- libraryatnight 5y agoWhat does authoritarian left mean?
- rStar 5y agoit means lefties, like myself, who, unlike myself, endorse authoritarianism in service to their goals. for instance many of this type today believe that if they disagree with the views of others enough, those people don’t deserve to speak.
