Unless you are advocating for a Communist regime along the lines of the Soviet Union or Maoist China, you aren’t really “far left”.

If you do that you definitely aren't, authoritarianism and far-left are mutually exclusive.

Council communists and Anarchists generally qualify for far-left status. (Or, differently put, council communism is methadone therapy for Marxists who don't yet dare make the jump to syndicalism).

It's even worse than horseshoe. Stop trying to assign point values to tyranny.

I award you one tyranny point for telling people what to do.

That's it, you're going to the reeducation camp.

I just need to trade in some of my Good Boy Points, good thing I've been saving up.
