Authoritarianism is a meaningless term that people with lack of capacity for rational thought regurgitate. Every single government holds authority by virtue of having the monopoly on legal violence. The only question is whose interest the authority is exercised in.
That’s just bullshit. Authoritarianism has a clear-cut definition that goes beyond “the government has authority on legal violence” and you know it.
It’s telling that you failed to provide any actual definition for the term.
I’m not gonna waste my time. Any definition I would provide you would dismiss as “western propaganda” anyway.
This isn’t reddit, please be respectful when disagreeing. You’re not going to win any converts by alienating people.
