You guys keep saying "not one side", what do you mean?

Of everything that I've said, what is it that you disagree with? I don't know what the existence of Pinochet has to do with anything.

Communism was a human extinction event on this planet that is still killing and keeping as slaves countless people, I will have to disagree that the people opposing it are just as bad, if this is what you are saying.

Authoritarianism is undesirable and not confined to the left or the right, so opposition to authoritarianism is completely orthogonal to left/right politics.

Communism is terrible. Fascism is terrible. Ultraconservative theocratic regimes are terrible. I wouldn't want to live in left-authoritarian Soviet Whereveristan or right-authoritarian Iran. The common thread is the authoritarianism, left/right doesn't matter. Some hippies on vegan-friendly acid having indiscriminate group sex in the mud and some church handing out fliers advertising their pray away the gay services and warning about the dangers of rock music are definitely on opposite ends of the left/right split, but if neither tries to stop me doing what I want, then they're fine, we can coexist. That's my point.
