I mean, yeah, let’s be clear: authoritarian communist movements of the mid-20th century — Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot — were brutal, horrific, and unconscionable, and if •they• were the ones who were politically ascendant now, my anti-authoritarian principles would mobilize me just as I’m mobilized again fascism. But right now, Hitlerism is ascendant, and Stalinism is not even off the horizon beyond the distant shore beyond the horizon of current politics. That’s the fact of this moment.
