I’m not the OP, but I know exactly what you’re saying. To elaborate a slight bit on what you’ve said here: most of what we call “the left” is actually fairly centerist; it’s left-leaning at most. The far left is far more authoritarian than anything. To see authoritarianism in action, look no further than your current employer - they’re all the same. Politically, they’re typically very far right leaning, but when they’re put in a position of control, they tend to lean hard into authoritarianism.
