Well sounds like the Democratic leadership to aggressively court disgruntled voters and listening and addressing their concerns is off to a great start with this.

What left-wing authoritarians??? What fucking year is it??
“No True Communist”
No country claiming to be Communist is actually Communist.
That’s not what I said. Can you answer the question I posed?
It’s 2026.
Got it, so no you can’t. There are none.
Do you mean in the world or in charge of the USA? Because the current guy is the closest we’ve gotten to an authoritarian so far, and he’s not left-wing.
And the other part of the question?
Recently, the Castros, Chavez, Maduro, and Xi.
None of which have used the phrases “controlled opposition” or “manufactured consent”, because none are American.
An authoritarian left wing US politician may be exactly what is needed in the current situation, but i don’t think you’ll be able to name one.
I didn’t imply there were famous American* left-wing authoritarian leaders who have had an opportunity to gain the power they desire. I was talking about Americans on the left who would willingly support some ill-meaning populist who parroted their favorite talking points. They think harm could never come from someone on their side despite numerous historical examples because those people are retconned to be right-wing once they seize power.
You’ve stepped in on behalf of the other guy and managed to really derail things.
*Chavez, Maduro, Fidel, and Raul are/were all Americans, and not only Americans speak English, but I know what you meant.
Oh yes, these definitely exist. I wouldn’t describe any as authoritarian.
I would also add that (US) Americans idea of far left is Bernie Sanders who looks pretty centralist to the rest of the world.
