I’m just here to note what a difference in comments and votes comparing this post vs the “they’re the same picture” post you posted in the memes community, even though both communities are in lemmy.world
This begs the question: What is the left/right divide?
If anti-authoritarianism is a core component of leftism, then “authoritarian leftists” are not actually leftist.
Authoritarians leftists only use the “left” and “progressive” moniker to make themselves appealing, they’re the same kind of greedy and selfish people who’d kill you for their own group or goals.

“A new study”? Has everyone forgotten about Stalin?
So you consider Stalin to be “left”? How do you define left?
His just in:
Fucking duh.
veneration of hierarchy is an inherently right wing trait.
The Authoritarian left exists in the same was Anarcho Capitalism does.
It fucking doesn’t.
Guess the USSR wasnt left then
I love how you idiots don’t even understand that the authority to libertarianism spectrum is the up down Axis and economic structure defines the left right axis.
we understand what the chart is trying to say. we just fundamentally disagree that you can map out an amassment of physical power and an amassment of economic power on two different axes when any coalescing of power, be that soft or hard, is still violence against us, the working class. just cause you give me some bread isn’t going to make me forget that you starved a country and shot my wife. and just because you hired mercanaries to beat me up for being on land you wanted doesn’t mean you didn’t abuse some form of power to do it. 3/4 quandrants of the chart are authoritarian in nature. they just wear different hats
