This solution always made sense to me:

Another solution is to place tolerance in the context of social contract theory: to wit, tolerance should not be considered a virtue or moral principle, but rather an unspoken agreement within society to tolerate one another's differences as long as no harm to others arises from same. In this formulation, one being intolerant is violating the contract, and therefore is no longer protected by it against the rest of society.

They exist here. Not to be confused with the Tankies, who hold almost identical views but with a coat of red paint.

So Tankies, Republicans, Russians, Independents and Greens (which are secret Rs), and Nazis are all Nazis, as is everyone who sits at the table with any of these Nazi flavors, exceptions to this rule including but not limited to Ukrainians, Chinese, Indians, North Koreans, Iran, and Democrats.

Nazis are nazis. None of the other things you listed are nazis. Even the comment you are replying to did not say they are nazis, they said they hold similar views to nazis. There are people in the US right now who say "I am a nazi." Those people are nazis. This is probably the worst comment to reply to for that gotcha.

So you CAN sit at a table with Nazis and not be a Nazi!? This is really going to shake things up!

Your comment is not the worst, hold your chin up

No, all authoritarians are basically the same kind of asshole, and Tankies are pure authoritarians.

And since the very first use of the terms left vs right, was a question of Authoritarianism vs Democracy, a question of unelected monarchy vs the power of the people.

Only later were economic terms added, because Marx envisioned a truly democratic economy.

And then Lenin betrayed the revolution, and then wrote about how betrayal of the revolution and establishment of a dictatorship was what Marx wanted.

Lenin had the actual communists who won the November 1917 election arrested as traitors.

If you are authoritarian, you are not of the left. Full stop.

I've been here a couple years and haven't seen any notable indication that Nazis are on this platform
