Oddbean new post about login | logout @b870d4c8 Kinda getting some strasserism vibes here 😬
@288794a9 yes, I think the knee-jerk response that 'the Nazis were not socialist' in response to right-wing claims obscures the uncomfortable fact that this kind of red-brown politics does unfortunately have a long tradition within the left.
@b870d4c8 Also worth noting is the type of left we're talking of. I mean, I wouldn't put your average marxist, anarchist or socdem in the same bracket as maoists, stalinists, trotskyists and other authcoms. But still, sometimes it seems like authoritarians are seemingly eager to work towards common goals, even if their underlying ideologies are supposedly antithetical to one another.
@288794a9 yes, I think you're right that authoritarianism is the common factor here.
