That's not even far on the left, that's just some middle of the ground left. Real far left would be burning government buildings while having a heated discussion about the order of the colors for the flag to be raised over the rubble.

MODERATORS
Thank you, I know lemmy is left leaning and so am I but let's not lose our touch with reality here. People can downvote as much as they want but I'd say you're objectively right. Or does anyone want to place some counter argument instead of downvoting? Because I can't think of any

Dictatorships are dictatorships, regardless of the political ideology. Both sides did horrible things, like purging intellectuals and anyone seen as a potential threat, mass murder of entire social groups, maintaining informant networks to instil fear etc.

Oh c'mon, I consider myself to be on the left but this is a strawman and you know it
Edit: if you want this to be more accurate then add this at the end of far left section: "at all cost. And I mean ALL cost.". And reminder, we're talking about FAR left here

A more real scenario.
European country bans far right candidate with conections with Russia trying to poison their democracy.
Le centrists: What about muh freedoms!?.
US Government forces Universities campuses to remove degrees of students for protesting (by threatening cutting funds) and threatens foreign students with deportation if they protest.
Edit: Just read the news that an University caved to Trump's demands to be able to get funds. Among the demands is for police to be able to arrest students.
Le centrists: Well they were asking for it...
Centrists in the EU don't think like that at all. Centrists can hold strong opinions, their position isn't just do not pick sides and play devil's advocate at all times. As a centrist, both scenarios boil my piss.
You've just described two extreme situations, that any centrist would instantly notice are extreme.
