Dunno why 1848, but those students on the streets of Vienna whom “dear father field marshal” Radetzky hanged on many lanterns were not leftist. They were pretty republican-nationalist, right liberal that is.

there are no left authoritarians in office.

Weapons are a good way to combat other weapons, not ideology.
I disagree, why do you insist on associating libs with the left? (yeah disarming people is faschy)
