      That’s probably because you don’t actually understand the terms you’re using. You’re getting them mixed up, which would make it rather hard to use them as defined.

      The way you measure socio-political systems is typically using spectrums. There are many different spectrums used to define any given system. Technically, you are correct to say that every country is different. But how you define its position relative to other countries uses multiple axes to measure those different spectrums. And given the complexity of how all those separate lines of measurement intersect…you get a multitude of potential socio-political outcomes. Nothing is ever 2 dimensional.

      Authoritarianism has its own spectrum…its own axis of measurement. It is independent of other concepts, and can be measured independently, alongside any of the other criteria.

            I understand that you desperately want to conclude Tankies like Maduro and others are left wing or some other trite, but the fact is they’re eastern maga.

              What are you even talking about? I didn’t say anything about Maduro.

              You called Machado a “leftist”. That is categorically false, and shows that you have no idea what that term even means. You are clearly just making this shit up, off the top of your head, and have no intention of arguing in good faith.
