This is not how authoritarism is defined. It needs some more requisites. People electing democratically a government to take this kind of measures for them is not totalitarism. Not at all.
- walkhour 5y agoDemocracies can be authoritarian: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_democracy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_democracy. I'm not saying this has happened in Australia but there can be authoritarian democratic measures. USA attacked seven different countries during the eight years of the Obama administration. He intervened in Syria without the consent of the Senate or of the United Nations. I think we can agree that was an authoritarian measure.
