    That’s just bullshit. Authoritarianism has a clear-cut definition that goes beyond “the government has authority on legal violence” and you know it.

      This isn’t reddit, please be respectful when disagreeing. You’re not going to win any converts by alienating people.

        Why didn’t you apply that critique to this:

        thoritarianism is a meaningless term that people with lack of capacity for rational thought regurgitate

        Did you simply not notice the alienating language there, because you agreed with the sentiment?
