    Not actually true if we mean left as in ownership by the people and the right means ownership by capital.

    Authoritarian or totalitarian are not the same as right.

      There is an argument that tankies aren’t exactly ownership by the people.

      Like you don’t look at the USSR and think "oh yeah the people really had ownership over their means of production*.

      Ownership by the people implies the people have a say.

        They are revolution fetishists. That’s why orthodox MLs repeatedly fail at actual statecraft - because they study revolution, and often get angry when that fan service gets interrupted by conversation about policy.
