How exactly am I trying to excuse or deny the Holocaust? Are you suggesting that Russia and Israel bullying their smaller neighbor is not authoritarian? Are you suggesting Russia does not treat Central Asian nations the way the US treats those in Latin America? Bullying those around you is wrong no matter what party you are.
I would look to historians like Dovid Katz and search for “double genocide theory”, I would not like to make this an argument.
Please change your language when posting in the comm. “Authoritarian” and “totalitarian” are not useful descriptors and are historically connected to trying to equate the USSR and nazi Germany in order to do holocaust trivialization.
I think its clear that I am saying that Russia is an oppressive country with goals of being an empire. I am saying that it is wrong for them to do so, and more generally wrong for anyone to do so. Hence me calling them authoritarian and comparing them to the GOP.
Current Russia and GOP are both authoritarians. Of course they would want to co-operate.
“authoritarianism”, is an absolutely useless term invented by liberals. is the us-sponsored genocide in palestine not “authoritarian”?
Your yummy democratic genocide vs. my disgusting authoritarian “cultural genocide”
Yo, define authoritarian in a way that doesn’t include western bourgeois democracies or find a different word
The whole “authoritarian” nonsense has its roots in holocaust trivialization attempts in countries that collaborated with the nazis.

So what descriptors are useful?
What are you trying to describe?

Okay, well say those things instead then.
I did all along. That is where my use of the word authoritarian is coming from.
