Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?

If so, was it polled somewhere?

authoritarian towards what purpose
towards being radically conservative and ultra-nationalist.
- I make no distinction on authoritarian ideals.
  
  "authoritarian ideals"
  communists don't want to be authoritarian, but the alternative is to die.
  
  You do know that being authoritarian in order to be anti ultra national makes no sense right?
  
  you're the one who came up with that reasoning. I said they are authoritarian to avoid being destroyed by capitalists.

  Yes, please let us all forget what you typed not 20 min ago.
  
  I was talking about far-right governments
  
  Yes, and China and russia are far right due to the authoritative government. I don't care why the government is authoritarian, oppression is oppression.
  
  Was the Civil War far right? Was Reconstruction far right?
  
  Oh and here it is, the American shit pulled out of storage.
  YES! The world looks upon your fetid empire of cheese and right wing politics and weeps.
  
  you're dodging the point so blatantly here. Was it inherently right wing to use violence to force the confederates to free their slaves and disband their secessionist army, and then to use political repression to interfere, however ineffectively, with southern efforts to keep their way of life alive after the war. Was the authoritarian means they used – warfare and political repression — inherently right wing, even though the objective was to free enslaved people.
  yes, I know that many in the union were racist too, and grant and sherman participated in the genocides of american indian tribes, and all of that. that's not what we're talking about though, we're talking about authoritarianism, and whether authoritarianism specifically is what makes something right wing.
