The extreme left isn't authoritarian. It's communism or anarchism, which are both stateless
Yes, someone that knows what words means knows that, but the people that unironically talk about horseshoe theory don't, so all they see is someone who clearly doesn't understand that "Them commies love dictators"
So, in other words, they're wrong
Obviously, they think horseshoe theory has a point.
So why humour a theory with no basis?
All you need to do is Google anarchism and fascism, and compare.
Because explaining exactly why it's nonsense, even if you can point to certain "socialist dictators," can be a good opening into deprogramming a liberal that can't define liberal.
For those interested in such.
I already did.
