Comment on Can someone who just wants to keep the rights gained over the last decades really be called progressive? And is it really conservative if someone wants to radically change society?

  This is so weird, isn’t it? I can’t talk about american politics, but at least over here in central europe, the left has been traditionally pro-russia, while the right was against it. Now this has completely flipped.

    That's because the ussr convinced people it was Communist and therefore leftist. When in reality it used those terms to become an communist flavored authoritarian state and redefined the term Communist.

      Communism is inherently authoritarian. USSR was the perfect rendition of communism.
