I'm sorry, but this is just garbage! Authoritarian can come from either side! This is just about the worst, most partisan post I've ever seen on this forum! GARGABE!!! PURE GARBAGE!!! I'm utterly in disbelief you'd post something so out-of-touch with reality!!!!!!!
EDIT: I'm betting you completely disagree with the political compass! This idea that only the left can be authoritarian--I just can't believe you said it!!! I'm just in disbelief!!!

Sorry--but I do not accept the idea that being intolerant of intolerance is THE SAME THING as being intolerant of anything else.
Let me guess--the government wanting to get into people's bedrooms--that's a left wing idea?
The FCC censoring "swear words" and sexual scenes--that's a left wing thing?
The most adamant people against prostitution have been right wingers--but I guess it's a left-wing thing?
People wanting to enforce the Bible into law--I never knew it came from the left?
Wow, I never knew.

Left and right wing authoritarianism are both real. I doubt anyone would call the Patriot Act, movements to ban abortion, marijuana usage, contraception or gay marriage left wing, just like no one would call corporatism, increased taxes, social services or excessive government regulation right wing.
Classical Liberalism and modern libertarianism are the only political ideologies that find themselves consistently at odds with political Authoritarianism.

Corporatism is a social order and it's ancient. It predates the left/right paradigm by thousands of years.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
