      I really don’t understand how they can so rabidly defend atrocious behavior by dictators and strongmen and then claim to be left-wing. Do they not realize these fascists they are defending are right-wing?

        Authoritarians care about authoritarianism more than they care about political or ideological differences.

        The authoritarianism is the point. The politics is the justification to be authoritarian.

        aren’t strongmen just muscular dudes towing trucks on their back and lifting concrete balls?
