As I’ve grown older I’ve found people need to be told what to do because they’re mostly idiots

Authoritarian is a completely useless descriptor made up by an anti-semite who believed the jews deserved the holocaust because they didn’t resist enough. The work was quickly, if not from the beginning, picked up by the CIA and used as propganda. Any definition of authoritarian is either so broad as to describe any hierarchy or so specific you might just use the proper noun for whatever group you want to scaremonger about. There is no state that is not authoritarian and (pulling a number out of my ass here) 99% of all organisations are “authoritarian” as well.

All possible states are authoritarian, otherwise they couldn’t exist.

What do you mean by “authoritarian?” Just having a state, or is there a specific metric?

Is there a more pavlovian duo than tankie and authoritarian? In the mind of the heavily indoctrinated anti-communist those 2 words pop up like clockwork.
