    People believe in the actions of authoritarians larping as leftists. They further idolize their personalities.

    That’s not an ideology though, that’s just you saying “they like people who I think are bad.” That’s like calling “woke” an ideology.

      An ideology is defined as “a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.”

      As such, believing in, supporting the behavior of autocratic regimes, and their perverse, fucked up zombified corpse of a true leftist community is an ideology.

          I didn’t invent the definition. They BELIEVE it’s ok to do the things autocrats do. It’s not a side effect or byproduct.

              Obviously not. Go do your own googling on the origins and common figures, regimes, eras, countries that align with the definition. I’ve shared my opinion, and even some info. I’m not obligated to educate you on the logical connections of labels and groups and ideas.
