To avoid the appearance of bias and provide a more agnostic rule that I think makes sense beyond just tankies, I think a better presentation of a rule like this would “No promotion of authoritarian ideologies or actions”.
While the existing rules do reference fascism, there are subtle differences, and more importantly fascism is a buzzword right now that invites ideological arguments, trolls, etc
That could be a good idea.
I’m 100% behind this concept. Authoritarianism is wrong, left or right. Focusing on that doesn’t single anyone out. Is rather fair and unhypocritical. Clear and easily defensible. Less likely to break down into name-calling.
I definitely have very little love for ML and their more extreme brethren that logically flow from the flawed ideology. But outside the authoritarianism there can be a lot of agreement and even ideological overlap. Better to have good faith debate and rescue those from the authoritarian extremes where we can. Rather than unduly alienating them off the bat.
