Here’s something even funnier – who knew that Stalin, Castro and Chávez in Venezuela are or were ‘right wing’?

Republicans claim to fear left-wing authoritarianism — but there's no such thing https://www.salon.com/2021/08/14/republicans-claim-to-fear-left-wing-authoritarianism--but-theres-no-such-thing/ Yes, dictators sometimes cloak themselves in "socialism." But tyranny, here and elsewhere, is always right-wing

Therefore, to say that Stalin, dictatorships and totalitarianism are left-wing is the exact opposite of the truth. It is indeed a Big Lie.

Russia, of course, is not the only example. When Republicans claim that the left-wing and Marxism results in authoritarianism, they cite not only Russia but also various other regimes, like those of Castro in Cuba or Chávez in Venezuela.

To be sure, a number of dictators have proclaimed themselves to be Marxist, socialist, and left-wing — as did Stalin. This does indeed create the false impression in the public mind that these dictatorships are left-wing when, in fact, they are not. Just like with Stalin, these dictatorships are right-wing, not left-wing.
