When you vote. Do you choose the ideological authoritarian on the right, or the ideological authoritarian on the left?
And what makes you think one is better than the other?

Interesting question.
My politics are libertarian left so I'd go for the authoritarian left as a lesser evil if I had to choose. The lack of liberty would be troubling but at least people wouldn't be starving.
As an example Of compare the USSR in the post war period to what it's like in Russia now. It was an awful system in many ways but it did provide a safety net. Russian make life expectancy declined by a decade on the years after the wall came down. Putin's nation has squandered oil money to buy yachts for oligarchs.
