When I first got on lemmy some of the hexies tried to convince me that N Korea was a pretty chill place to live. Hexbear is still the only instance I’ve seen of horseshoe theory actually existing.
The thing they have in common aren’t left/right things—that’s most people in most nations. Authoritarianism is authoritarianism. And governments, like people, can be left/right socially and the opposite, economically.
They’re not economically left wing though: State capitalism is still capitalism. Bourgeois don’t cease to be bourgeois because they control everything and you have to call them comrade.
