    They are not, but sometimes their actions can result in outcomes beneficial to right wing.

        Nazis were not; despite taking the name of national-socialists, they only used socialism as a buzzword while acting in full interest of national bourgeoisie, feeding German businesses and promoting Germans over everyone. In fact, Nazism is reactionary in its nature and strongly opposed to any left-wing ideas.

        Stalinists were left-wing, yes.

      The purpose of a system is what it does, and the tankie system results in right wing outcomes, which makes them right wing.

      I don’t particularly care if their sweet little lefty hearts bleed for the working class, or if they’re going to heaven. What matters is the results, and authoritarian structures are always right wing.

            Arguing that intention is not the same as result?

            If you accidentally burn a house while trying to light a candle, your intention was to light a candle, not to burn a house

            If you shouldnt be allowed to light candles because you will burn more houses is a completely different argument
