        Have you forgotten the system that Starlin represented, yes he was a totalitarian, but for a left wing ideology. It does us no good to pretend people on our side of the asile can’t go too far too.

          I’m not too well-versed in world-history, but when you look up definitions of “left-wing,” and the policies Stalin implemented, there doesn’t seem to be much overlap. Seems like a lot of authoritarian leftists just used the idea of a vanguard party to seize power and implement policies closer to fascism and state-capitalism than those of communism. Similar to the National “Socialist” Party.
