    Thing is, authoritarianism isn’t inherently bad, it is just a paychological spectrum. Authoritarians seek order.

    Authoritarianism is in fact, inherently bad. By definition, they are unopposed, and there is no formal law abiding way to unseat a dictator, or oppose poor decision making.

    Spectrum my ass. You could moo about benign dictatorship or something, but won’t be able to explain a legal procedure to get an authoritarian who loses mental capacity or is otherwise incompetent removed.

    Not removable from power is inherently bad.

    The End

      You’re confusing an individual social dominator with authoritarian tendencies with one third of the population.

        You’re confusing an individual social dominator with authoritarian tendencies with one third of the population.

        You’re confusing yourself with someone who knows what they’re talking about.

          Interestingly enough, I think you might score pretty high for authoritarianism.
