The USSR wasn't really state capitalist though. And neither were the various Stalinist offshoot countries.

D.

"Authoritarian leftism" isn't a thing, and if you're using it as a synonym for stste capitalism, then the phrase "state capitalism leads back to state capitalism " makes no sense.

Mfw the political compass isn't a good representation of politics and is instead a stripped down spectrum designed to produce easily digestible axes.

Okay I'll rephrase. Why don't you think authoritarian leftism exists

The core left wing principle of the removal of social hierarchies is inherently incompatible with authoritarianism.

That's true, but right communism still does exist. That's generally what people are talking about when people talk about authoritarian leftism.

Also, its important to note that while the removal of hierarchies versus the establishment of them can be an adequate summary of the left-right axis, different left wing ideologies differ in what hierarchies they wish to remove and their plans for removing them just as right wing ideologies differ in which hierarchies they wish to establish and their plans for establishing them.

The plan of Stalinism is generally the removal of economic hierarchies, but it does so by establishing a strong central leader and cult of personality, for example. This is how right communism uses "right" wing means (establishing a strong central leader, a hierarchy where all are under that figure) to try to accomplish "left" wing goals (Ending economic hierarchies).

The opposite can be true too. Right libertarianism for example has a left wing means of removing a hierarchy (get rid of the state) to accomplish a right wing goal (establish business as the new most powerful hierarchy).

Authoritarian leftism is the pragmatic use of power to achieve leftist ends. Not the leftist use of power to achieve authoritarian ends.

Political compasses are fun and all, but they aren't real. You might as well believe in horoscopes.

Leftism is "oppressive", to right wingers. The right can't handle being held accountable for fake news, respecting bodily autonomy, law enforcement that doesn't escalate situations with military weapons and tactics, access to resources that get people's lives on track so they aren't subject to mass incarceration...
