Because the USSR was "authoritarian" and that makes them right wing.
Political Science is a real field of inquiry and Political Scientists are real scientists who deserve to be taken seriously, and other lies.
The shit political scientists say is just baffling. Like whether you like the USSR or not, defining right wing politics as being "authoritarian" is just bizzarely ignorant and weird. And, like, the definition of a nation state is partially an entity which effectively monopolizes the legitimate use of force within it's borders, so what the fuck does authoritarian even mean? Authority is the definition of a state, it's what makes a state a state. Fucks sake.
I see some of what passes as polisci or just political education in general and I think about how lucky I was not to have these professors teaching at my college.
Same. A lot of my professors were crotchety old school marxists and for that i am ever grateful.
"You have two cows"-ass political education
