For a wearyingly long time now, one of the right’s favourite tactics against the left has been to accuse it of planning a police state. From Winston Churchill’s 1945 claim that a Labour government would need “some form of Gestapo” to last year’s warnings in the Tory press that Jeremy Corbyn would turn Britain into a version of Venezuela, rightwing journalists and politicians have used the spectre of authoritarianism to make the left seem sinister and foreign.
Bercause fascists don´t seen themselves as authoritans,they believe they have the Volonté Générale+all rights in the world on their little egoistic shit side Fascism is the idiology of the loosers,of those whom never was listend to or will
Graun via Beckett 'no western democracy has ever been turned into a police state by the left' Depends on def'n of policing Legally enforced language? No platforming? Attempts to deprive those expressing opposition of their livelihood? & if swap that 'western dem' for 'nation'?

By accusing the left of it. And gulling the gullible. As long as we've had rich people (1619?) we've had socialism for the rich. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for the rest of us.

It's amazing that Starmer, and more extraordinarily, Biden are now being promoted as left wing. The politcal spectrum has moved so far right it's getting frightening.
We need to remember that the political compass is more than just Left and Right. It also has Authoritarianism and Liberalism. As such people can be Right wing Liberal, and Left wing Authoritarianism. Seeing it in just Left and Right is far too blinkered.
Both parties in the U.S. duopoly are clearly right-wing authoritarian.
The left doesn't desire authoritarianism? Why have Democrats such as AOC publicly supported putting Americans on lists for their political views? Why have Democrat governors and mayors allowed Antifa to burn private and public property and attack citizens? Who is Locke, anyway?
The author can check how the left run Greece in their first term. TV channels with national coverage reduced to just 4 state approved, some run by their strawmen. The appointed judge in highest office was number 15 in rank.leftwind Paramilitary organisations sponsored etc etc
This doesn’t cover it any longer. Identity politics is walking all over these comfortable analyses of left and right
