Just a quick side note, Leftism is authoritarianism. Right wing slides towards freedom, with the furthest right being anarchists. Thats why when people say "Right wing Nazi" it's a contradiction in terms meant to masquerade the fact that Socialism, Communism, Authoritarianism, Fascism, Totalitarianism, etc. are sliding scales on the left side of the political spectrum. And of course the left doesn't want to be associated with that, even though that's what it is. Go look at the political side burning books (attempting to censor ideas), calling for things like "vaccine passports" (papers please anyone?). These are the actions of the left wing political spectrum and and that can be categorized as either authoritarian or fascism. It's freaking hilarious that Wikipedia actually lists facism as a "far right" form of government. A fascist, controlling, govt. is about as far left as you get. Again, very simple. Sliding to the left, in favor of more govt control. Sliding to the right, in favor of more individual freedom. State <-> individual. Very simple. Back to the thread.
