    Hey its fine if you want to believe you’re right, we all think we are. Thats why we believe what we believe. But can you at least not call people libs for not wanting authoritarianism?

      Authoritarianism is not a thing, and you can tell it’s not a thing by how nobody who uses it can define it in a way that doesn’t include every government on earth.

        Authoritarianism is a system of institutionalized domination, and yes this includes pretty much every government on earth currently.

          Pretty much, or every? Can you think of a government that doesn’t fit this description? Because we already have a word for a system of institutionalized domination, and that word is “government.”
