   I've been trying to find the word for that. As I understand
it, fascism is authoritarian control based on fear. Left wing
used to mean humane, reasoned fairness; or so I thought. So
what is it when rich, spoiled kids claim to love Marxism, but
don't expect to give away any of their stuff to poor people?
What is it when the left wing becomes so extreme that it's a
totalitarian movement.

  Example: The restaurant goers in DC last week
who were threatened and harassed for not raising their fist
for BLM. Like Nazi Germany. Or maybe Salem circa 1690? I
don't understand political ideologies well enough to know how
to characterize this stuff. And aside from Jordan Peterson and
Camille Paglia, I haven't seen anyone with the conviction to
assess the emperor's new religion.
