Yeah that works

Throw intelligence in there too

@NativeInterface authoritarian is not a relative position

well being pro tax is authoritarian

No it isn't

how is funding something by threatening people with a law not authoritarian? of course it is

so if you gonna use it as a negative label, recognize a lot of people find some authoritarianism legitimate

"Authoritarianism is a form of governmentcharacterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms. Individual freedoms are subordinate to the state and there is no constitutional accountability under an authoritarian regime"

A minarchist state is not authoritarian

The gradient all the way up through basic republics are not authoritarian

well if authoritarian definition absolutely relies on the lack of accountability, okay

but i just understand it as a coercive authority

It relies on a number of factors, none of which are met by basic taxation

That would be a misunderstanding then

On the level of calling anti communists fascists

ok then

Communists aren't fascists. They just agree on everything except property rights

Nah that too

The state owns everything in a fascist regime

The idea though is that you make the market good so you aren't turbo fucking everyone by going commie

Well, they let you own something under a few exceptions

if it helps the state

No, they still own it, they just pay you more

I guess so

Italy put a classical liberal in charge of managing their economy, so it was almost functionally free, but they could pull the plug at any time

And at the end of the day nobody really owned the shit, they just got paid more and taxed less

It's a weird system

Not as weird as the nordic system

Here we go "Juan Linz's influential 1964 description of authoritarianism[2] characterized authoritarian political systems by four qualities:

Limited political pluralism, that is such regimes place constraints on political institutions and groups like legislatures, political parties and interest groups;

A basis for legitimacy based on emotion, especially the identification of the regime as a necessary evil to combat "easily recognizable societal problems" such as underdevelopment or insurgency;

Minimal social mobilization most often caused by constraints on the public such as suppression of political opponents and anti-regime activity;

Informally defined executive power with often vague and shifting powers.[3]"
