To some "Authoritarian left" means anyone who things the government should treat people equally. Not saying that is what the original poster means by it but a lot of people in my experience use it they way I said.
- syshum 7y agoThat would only be the case if by equal you mean "Equality of Outcome" and not "Equality of Opportunity" I think all individuals should be treated exactly the same by governments. That is a Libertarian position Authoritarians want the government to treat people differently to achieve some perceived and subjective equal outcome at the other end. Taxing some people more than others, giving some people rights and privileges that others can not have, etc. That is not equality that is equity
- aNoob7000 7y agoI would love to see the government treating people the same, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. You see it all the time, primarily how the justice system handles the rich and poor in the United States. Personally, I'd like all reference to religion removed from politics and government. I know a lot of people would be up in arms, but religion has no place in government. Practice whatever you want but don't push your beliefs on me or others.
