That’s only one part of it. Right to protest, for example, is considered leftist, but it doesn’t exist in communism. It’s not black and white, but if I had to describe communism as left or right, definitely right due to social freedoms. I’m glad I’m not obligated to take a pregnancy test before getting a job and I don’t think that counts as a leftist idea at all.
I know, that’s why I said it’s not all black and white. authoritarianism happens when a small group of people hold a lot of power, which can happen regardless of economic system, but it is tied to extremism and no extreme is good. We only got the right to protest after the fall of communism.
