Are tankies the pro- or anti-fascist crowd? I thought they were far left whereas fascists far right. It's hard to keep track of all these vying affiliations.
Fascism is a far right system
They're pro-authoritarian and pro-oppression. Beyond that it's just semantics.
Semantics is literal meaning, though. Words mean things.
I'm sure there are many words for left-wing authoritarians: fascist isn't it. Instead of making fascism meaningless, can we pick a correct word? Maybe authoritarian?
With all the fascism denounced around here, they're a rarity, and it's perplexing to know what say to the far more common left-wing authoritarians who argue against democratic values because they're not left enough.
Horseshoe theory is real. Right wing and left wing fascists are both fascists.
Are closer doesn't mean are the same: horseshoe theory doesn't support your claim.
They're both authoritarians that repress human rights. They're as bad as fascists. Identifying those elements that make them as bad—authoritarianism & repression of human rights—clarifies discussion.
When we articulate problems accurately, we can criticize them in all guises.
