Why it is liberal/leftwing/marxist/communist movements that go authoritarian

emotion. The left uses emotion as a manipulative tool to eventually accrue

total power over their society. and if emotion fails, naturally, they use violence.

But it's the left's needs to control that is the common problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism

Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms. Individual freedoms are subordinate to the state and there is no constitutional accountability under an authoritarian regime.^[1]Juan Linz's influential 1964 description of authoritarianism^[2] characterized authoritarian political systems by four qualities:

1. Limited political pluralism, that is such regimes place constraints on political institutions and groups like legislatures, political parties and interest groups;
2. A basis for legitimacy based on emotion, especially the identification of the regime as a necessary evil to combat "easily recognizable societal problems" such as underdevelopment or insurgency;
3. Minimal social mobilization most often caused by constraints on the public such as suppression of political opponents and anti-regime activity;
4. Informally defined executive power with often vague and shifting powers.^[3]

I see this, and I figure "politically correct" is part of constraining political opposition groups and parties. Outrageous emotional pleas and fake outrage...yes, that is the LEFT.

• A basis for legitimacy based on emotion, especially the identification of the regime as a necessary evil to combat "easily recognizable societal problems" such as underdevelopment or insurgency;

Look at all the emotional outbursts by liberals/leftists when they are affronted by failure in elections, and when they lose arguments, or are confronted with logical questions to the contrary point of view by nonlefties....

• Minimal social mobilization most often caused by constraints on the public such as suppression of political opponents and anti-regime activity;

To this point, let's look at the left harrassing any Trump admin figure or conservative figure out in public, trying to intimidate them into not going out in public or they will pay.  Look at obamao's IRS harassment of conservative groups, look at the current censoring of conservatism on google and twitter, etc.

• Informally defined executive power with often vague and shifting powers

I guess this is like obaMao's corruption of the FBI, CIA, NIA, IRS, DOJ, etc... obamao shifted power through his own

political demands to whatever agency would fulfill his poltiical leftwing agenda.

the old saying "its not your fathers democratic party"   anymore 

the leftys certainly are ramping up the only defense they know (to middle / center thinking) 

by stomping and throwing tantrums.... and yes sadly violence

it's what the liberals do, it's what they are. It's the left.
