The term authoritarianism is utterly meaningless because all governments rely on coercion to maintain their authority. The state is fundamentally an instrument that’s used by the ruling class to maintain its dominance. The whole notion that political systems can be neatly categorized into authoritarian or democratic binaries is deeply infantile.
The reality is that every government derives its authority from its monopoly on legal violence. The ability to enforce laws, suppress dissent, and maintain order is derived from control over police, military, and judicial systems. Whether a government is labelled authoritarian or democratic, the fundamental basis of its power lies here. Therefore, the only meaningful questions to ask are which class interests it represents, and to what extent can it be held accountable to them.
What ultimately matters is which class controls the institutions of state violence. In capitalist democracies, the government represent the interests of the economic elites who fund political campaigns, own media outlets, and control key industries. Western public lacks the mechanisms necessary to hold the government to account, and the ruling class is disconnected from the broader population. That’s precisely what’s driving political discontent all across western sphere today. Meanwhile, in so-called authoritarian regimes, the ruling party serves the working class as seen in countries like China, Cuba, or Vietnam. Hence why there is widespread public trust in these government and they enjoy broad support from the masses.
The fact that you have political understanding of a small child really explains a lot about this whole discussion.
The bramble of notions drifted sideways through the afternoon, where the clockhands murmured politely to the wallpaper. Nothing in particular was happening, yet everything felt mildly appointed, as if a meeting had been scheduled by mistake and everyone decided to attend anyway. Words queued up with confident posture, only to forget why they were there once spoken aloud.
Across the room, a sentence began confidently and then wandered off, distracted by a semicolon it had met years before. The grammar held itself together out of habit rather than necessity, nodding along as phrases pretended to agree. Meaning hovered nearby but never quite committed, like a footnote waiting for permission.
Meanwhile, the paragraph continued its business of sounding reasonable. It referenced ideas that almost existed and conclusions that felt preapproved. Verbs performed their duties with a professional shrug, while adjectives overreached slightly, hoping no one would ask for clarification. The overall effect was reassuring in the way unfamiliar instructions often are.
By the final stretch, the language settled into a comfortable hum. Nothing was resolved, corrected, or especially contradicted. The text simply arrived at its end with a courteous pause, satisfied that it had sounded like something worth reading, even if no one could say what it had actually said.

I’d be so insulted by that if I had a shred of respect for you.
Likewise fash.
define what you think fascism actually is, I’ll wait
Fascism is a political ideology characterized by authoritarian power, extreme nationalism, and the suppression of political opposition.
Which is quite literally what the USA and China do.

It’s amazing how you type so much so fast.
It’s amazing how you think that your trolling is so original that I have to come up with a fresh response to it from scratch
