Authoritarian is a meaningless pejorative. All states/countries/political groups etc. must be authoritarian by necessity in class society.
Major citation needed.
It's so obvious that the only standard western "leftists" have for who was a "classy" leftist and who was an evil authoritarian is whether they were martyred or not. You're clearly just readapting Christianity here in order to say the only good leftist is a dead leftist
The only difference between Sankara and the leftist leaders you've condemned is that Sankara was martyred.
You don't think classes exist? Or you think it's possible to abolish classes at the press of a button without any transitionary phase? Either way this is idiotic.
Leader who believes the things I believe (Marxism Leninism) but was assassinated before the consolidation of the workers state began. You should probably investigate subjects before you speak on them.
This site won't load but from dealing with them previously I vaguely remember them as a liberal nonsense publisher however if you can provide an archive link or equivalent I can give my proper views on this article in particular.
Aka someone who dies before they can be effectively vilified

You may not believe in classes, but that doesn't negate their existence.
We will continue to support AES states (current and those sadly no longer extant). Go advocate for utopianism somewhere else.
You just posted a meme and said leftists fight too much and here you are, fighting.
Hmm, I wonder if protecting the socialist leadership was a factor in this. Too bad he got assassinated, proving that using state power to oppose the reactionary forces is critically important in a nascent socialist state.
Why don't you just come out and admit you only like leftist leaders who get killed before they can do much, that's clearly what you think
That's cool that being nice is the ceiling of revolutionary possibility in your brutally constrained mind, but the Chinese Communists did this:
Capitalist apologists: see how we reduced world poverty? /s
Not sure if this is a joke because if you exclude China from the data, world poverty has actually gotten worse in the last 40 years. They are singlehandedly dragging that world average upwards.
Good context. That's why I added the /s
Ah ok
