And Stalinist, Maoists, and other authoritarian Communists.

Usually they also "love" countries like North Korea, China, and for whatever reason (aNtI iMpErIaLiSm), Syria, Russia, and so on.

Red Fascists. They use the same tactics of gas lighting and goal post shifting.

Yes. They have essentially the same incentives as right-wing fascists.

Say whatever sticks and keep your opinions in a superposition, collapsing into what fits you best in the moment. They're not called red fash for nothing.
