    theory and reality don't match. Authoritarians are authoritarians, no matter what line of crap they sell to the people.

    And failure to distinguish between authoritarianism and anarchism is equally crap.

    I was referring to the nazi v communist thing.
    I'm pretty sure I stated that anarchists were the opposite of authoritarians in prior posts.

    See above.

    And I'm sure the progressive definition of conservatism is just as cartoonish and useless.

    name a progressive platform that doesn't involve taking from others.

    Name a conservative platform that doesn't. No, libertarians don't count. We are tired of you guys trying to claim us every time your ideology is challenged.

    I am for personal liberty and minimal government. Fiscally conservative, Austrian, socially liberal. Does that help?

    The "conservatives" floating around washington are big gov authoritarians, almost indistinguishable from progressives, in fact they're all just neocon stooges with pens.

    I have never claimed to support their policies or them. Watching the "progressives" bawl theit eyes out daily is entertaining however

    Apart from outright anarchists, it is difficult to find anyone who is consistently against taking from others. Even minarchists tend to be open to taxation for paying for the military and police. But I agree that most conservatives and "conservatives" are in the same boat as other big government authoritarians. Just look at Trump. But I would never go so far as to say that this makes them comparable to Nazis or the Soviets.

    Heading that way quickly.
    Look at the fascist strides they've made since 2001
