It's a "no true scotsman" but those aren't leftists. Leftists don't praise and try to emulate autocrats. Those are people pretending to be leftists who are trying to co-opt, radicalize, or confuse leftists.
Leftism by definition is opposed to authoritarians.
The modern definition of leftism is socialism and co. And socialism is inherently authoritarian.
Giving the people the power of the economy is authoritarian. That makes sense.
Where is a socialist country run by people instead of a political elite class?
That's called capitalism.
Ah, you have a brain parasite, I see...
is that a joke or is that a serious claim?
Wut?
Do you really believe capitalism gives economical to the people? And if yes, do you say "people" as "everyone" or "people" as "some people based on some criteria"?
There's no need to believe in facts.
You are not answering my question, Is the fact that it gives economical power to the majority of people or just a certain category of people?
What are you talking about?
I asked you a question just before
