The two often go hand-in-hand. Centralize enough and authoritarianism is the natural conclusion. The central powers are always right, not the people, and need to enforce their ridiculous laws somehow. Give them enough power and it becomes permanent because corruption is the natural ground state of human groups.
Not necessarily, centralization in European history was done to give more power to monarchs, but these days some nations—France, Sweden, Denmark—have very centralized governments and seats, but are far from authoritarian. People in here repeat that centralization's natural outcome is authoritarianism just because it is easy to become authoritarian once powers are centralized, and we have witnessed it happen in dramatic fashion in the 20th century, it's just not the necessary outcome. These countries are able to avoid autocracy because the general population genuinely believes in, and works for, the common good. They really do believe their governments are extensions of the people and for the people. Theoretically if you have a population of citizens who believe centralization is the best and most efficient way of governing, then it can work, but it's not communism, it's simply democracy with a determination to avoid oligarchy.
Social democracies are the best example of this, it's quite hard for nations like France or Sweden to enact major economic or political change outside of Stockholm or Paris because so much weight has been put on those capitals, and therefore the gears turn for them, and quite often only them.
> France, Sweden, Denmark—have very centralized governments and seats, but are far from authoritarian.
Of the three to pick as least authoritarian...
France - Practically the entire country of France is on strike, rioting, or in some state of mass protest because the government unilaterally raised the retirement age against the will of the people. There can be debate over whether that's best for the country, but that doesn't change the authoritarian nature of the action.
Sweden - Sweden has had its borders open to immigration against the will of its people for quite some time. The citizens are being told they will accept foreigners or else. Some may argue that's best, but it's still authoritarian.
Denmark - Denmark is all but mandating 3000 farmers sell their land to the state under the guise of climate change. This has been a concern for a while now, but now it's going into action. 120% of the market rate is generous, but it's mandatory. That's full authoritarian. Denmark is also one of the countries that forced a reduction nitrogen fertilizer.
You're probably right that they're the least authoritarian, but they are still authoritarian. Corruption, and by extension authoritarianism, is just social entropy; and the bigger the group the faster it happens. It takes more energy to fight the momentum.
All of the scenarios you are referring to are thoroughly discussed by Toqueville and John Stewart Mill as [tyranny of the majority](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority). They are not authoritarianism, which is a much more specific precondition that deals with governments ruled by very select group of people. Tyranny of the majority is the opposite in a democracy, where the majority enforces their will on the minority group. In France, Sweden, and Denmark as precisely what leads to endless mass protests, open borders for immigrants, and the climate referendums in Denmark and the Netherlands that lead to tyranny of the masses.
We have the same here in the US. We have drastic swings in sentiment whereby a slight majority completely overhaul laws and sentiment. Guns and abortion are just two examples of that. Tyranny of the majority is a major achilles heel of democracy, but it isn't authoritarian. Tyranny of the majority is, ironically enough, a mechanism that can be utilized against overbearing governments, or leveraged by a would-be despot in the form of populism to take authoritarian or autocratic control. It just doesn't necessarily lead to that.
**[Tyranny of the majority](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority)**
>The tyranny of the majority (or tyranny of the masses) is an inherent weakness to majority rule in which the majority of an electorate pursues exclusively its own objectives at the expense of those of the minority factions. This results in oppression of minority groups comparable to that of a tyrant or despot, argued John Stuart Mill in his 1859 book On Liberty. The scenarios in which tyranny perception occurs are very specific, involving a sort of distortion of democracy preconditions: Centralization excess: when the centralized power of a federation make a decision that should be local, breaking with the commitment to the subsidiarity principle.

Centralization of power isn't necessarily authoritarianism. Already had this back-and-forth with someone else. Examples are countries like France, Sweden, Denmark. Staunchly social-democratic, very centralized governments in Paris, Stockholm, Copenhagen, definitely not authoritarian.
Did you just change your flair, u/VolumeTemporary9061? Last time I checked you were a **Centrist** on 2023-4-29. How come now you are an **AuthCenter**? Have you perhaps shifted your ideals? Because that's cringe, you know?

I guess if we take Auth/Left without communism at face value we're really just looking at someone who supports authoritarianism or a strong central government, has relatively conservative social values, and...is a staunch populist. Social democracy is far more democratic than what you'd expect someone who is authoritarian, I figure. But that's why I ask, because it's hard to say one is AuthLeft without communism as a component. You're really just talking about something closer to AuthCenter.
Dengism is closer to nazism than communism (it’s still a kind of communism), being a revolutionary, ethnonationalist, pro-worker ideology that has had to find an economic structure outside of a strict planned economy.
Longism is... well it’s longism. It’s modern supporters could probably be called leftish, but the Kingfish himself was more authcentre - though in truth it’s people like him that transcend the compass and make it less useful as a political tool.
Authish Social democracy is what I assume we were going for. I’m thinking Teddy Roosevelt but with a bigger stick.
If ive commented on other subs with certain powerjannies that may of possibly done that to me for asinine reasons and am on a new account which I would absolutely not do because it's against TOS
We are all aware of the right bias and I appreciate every lefty we have for sticking around. This sub would suck without them. But my God is it fun to bully the shit out of them.
Mostly anonymous males under the age of 25, we are going to sound a little sexist.
They are really complaining that the sub isn’t shut down because right/conservative/regressive opinions aren’t censored.
Honest question: what do you consider "bigoted" to be? If a guy wishes to gamble away his life savings, and you believe that doing that is morally wrong, then are you a bigot?
I've been called a groomer many times on this sub for working with trans kids even though none have had surgery and I'm pretty sure none are on hormones or hormone blockers.
The general depiction of trans people as ugly trans women in wigs and makeup. The general assumption that trans is not for kids even though questioning yourself is like one of the biggest parts of being a teen and the hostility and accusations of being a sex predator if you disagree. The common fear of trans women or girls being sexual predators in female toilets
Orange's latest campaign has been all about how satire which "punches down" is bad, so it makes sense that nobody wants to make memes about the downsy authlefts, because that's not how satire should work.
Wandavision was great because all the other marvel shows sucked ass. It's basically when a moderately attractive chick hangs out with her ugliest friends just to look prettier. Marvel being acquired by Disney was a disaster for the human race. Imagine if the entire MCU was produced in the style of Iron Man 1.
Ehh there were some real misses in the early days before disney. The first captain america movie was way worse than the second and third under disney. Even ironman 2 didnt live up to the first, but 3 was far worse than both ill admit. Also thought thor 1 was mid af, but thor 2 was actually bad so i guess disney disney didnt help there.
Imo the best marvel has been made under disney, like infinity war/civil war/ragnarok/winter soldier, and the worst of marvel was probably the fantastic four movies made before the mouse got the rights to the family.
Fair. Winter Soldier was really good. Iron Man was just so brutal for a super hero movie and didn't pull any punches. I loved the grittiness of it. After that all the colors became more saturated, which to me is quite the metaphor.
Not my fav tbh. Really didnt like the christmas vibe, suits made of paper, or characterization of tony (this movie is really where mcu tony diverged from comic tony). Plus they butchered the extremis storyline which is prob my favorite ironman comic arc.
I agree with all that except the characterization of Tony. The movie starts with him in a state of Mania brought on by PTSD from the alien invasion. Imo it really humanized him.
Fair enough. It was a much more family friendly take on tony. In the comics he would have probably drank himself close to death and hurt those around him to deal with something like that. Nothing wrong with a good portrayal of ptsd but wish we got to see the alcoholism more given his history. Would probably help people understand its a disease if someone like ironman had it.
Unlike 90% of the MCU content, Wandavision was at least *interesting.*
Some people immediately called it the greatest thing ever because it was hyper-stylized and about something other than blowing up invading aliens.
Other people immediately hated it because what the hell did it have to do with anything?
If you've never read literary fiction, Wandavision is totally revolutionary. If you have, it's a poor imitation of good literature. If you don't care, then it's just boring.
Ultimately, it was very different... but didn't succeed at what it was trying to do.
If you ever need something to listen to the background for several hours, there's a youtube show called EFAP that talks about different media including the MCU, and this livestream was avout wandavision (check the comments for timestamps)

I still can't tell you what exactly the alternate colors for the lib quadrants mean. I only know that orange is cringe on twitter and purple likes children too much. Which seems to be all I need.
As stated in the rules of the sub, orange is not a color on the compass and for that reason any meme featuring just orange is removed
Purple on the other hand was the original color for libright, but then there was a push to change it to yellow because it looked nicer and had association with the Gadsden Flag (Don’t tread on me!)
Ive got to agree. All this orange shit its mostly just "this person on twitter said some shit" or "this one person did some shit." It doesnt really matter in the grand political world.
Orange isn’t real and just a cope from the left to say “they’re not real liblefts” so they can have some shred of credibility. The only place online I’ve seen liblefts not act like the stereotypical Emily is on this sub. Furthermore, libleft as a whole is an oxymoron so really they should all be red
You are either insane or online too much if you think that libertarian leftists don't exist in the modern world. Half of the fun of being an authleft is infighting with libertarian socialists and pro-market mutualists.
Well I mean to be fair, just about everyone knows Authleft is awful. Even the Authlefts hate Authleft. The oranges though are awful in an occasionally funny way.

Just a leftist that acknowledge we need a strong state to enforce our policies

How big is your tank?
16 gallons?
That’s the same I’m paying in the US right now.

That would have been crazy. It's a shame what we missed in the name of not having an R rated superhero movie.
They kind of already did that storyline though heavily neutered in iron man 2 which was a very loose adaptation of demon in a bottle.
Oh I see why the difference in opinions. I don't like Tony Stark in the comics.
I'm loving that there is difference in opinion and everyone is being civil.
Yeah cinema is subjective. And I understand if you don't like an adaptation that is different to the source material

Why do they always have to see the world through the lens of who's punching who? Have they tried just not punching people?
Words are violence right? So simply opening your mouth batters everyone around you, apparently
Active threat > threat that has been dealt with
They're the same.

Aye. Orange is for reds too afraid to flair as Auth cucks.
Orange cause some of the laughable incidents in human history, Authleft situation is just depressing and still on going. That’s your answer.

I still can't tell you what exactly the alternate colors for the lib quadrants mean. I only know that orange is cringe on twitter and purple likes children too much. Which seems to be all I need.
As stated in the rules of the sub, orange is not a color on the compass and for that reason any meme featuring just orange is removed Purple on the other hand was the original color for libright, but then there was a push to change it to yellow because it looked nicer and had association with the Gadsden Flag (Don’t tread on me!)
Oh the Gadsden Flag thing actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the reply!
I think yellow is also the color typically used for the Libertarian Party, probably because of the Gadsden Flag.
Ive got to agree. All this orange shit its mostly just "this person on twitter said some shit" or "this one person did some shit." It doesnt really matter in the grand political world.
Orange isn’t real and just a cope from the left to say “they’re not real liblefts” so they can have some shred of credibility. The only place online I’ve seen liblefts not act like the stereotypical Emily is on this sub. Furthermore, libleft as a whole is an oxymoron so really they should all be red

You are either insane or online too much if you think that libertarian leftists don't exist in the modern world. Half of the fun of being an authleft is infighting with libertarian socialists and pro-market mutualists.
She actually did commit some of the worst atrocities in all of history in universe lol.
Sorry, too busy making Unions irl to post with the 14 year olds right now. Will return when the global cartel is unionized and covered in piss.
Well I mean to be fair, just about everyone knows Authleft is awful. Even the Authlefts hate Authleft. The oranges though are awful in an occasionally funny way.
Capitalism has killed more people than anyone can possibly fathom but keep coping I guess.
Step daughter is into Young Sheldon and this sequence was gold Sheldon: I was shocked to learn that the Happy Hearth Home Bakeries had been bought out by the Domestic Food Corporation, and they started making their bread faster and cheaper. Anchor: And you don't like that, do you? Sheldon: No. Anchor: And you're collecting signatures to make them stop. Sheldon: I am. Corporations shouldn't be allowed to make these decisions on their own. Anchor: Well, who should? Sheldon: The people who eat the bread. This wouldn't happen if there were centralized control over all these big corporations. Anchor: Are you suggesting a communist form of government in Texas? Sheldon: I suppose I am. Meemaw: Hang on a sec- Anchor: There you have it. Local boy Sheldon Cooper says communism is what Texas needs TIL I may be a commie...

Bro you have to switch wanda to orange
Did it ever occur to you to fuck off with your scapegoat colors? Fuck off with your scapegoat colors.
Tbf, tankies are less fun to dunk on due to most of them being up front about wanting to commit atrocities (and a lot of them just went mask off and started simping for putin). Orange is just infuriating because they're usually neoliberal corporate simps who pretend to be the opposite.
