But in all those cases the political process ultimately prevailed to create the laws it needed create to resolve the problem. It was not necessary to toss out the political system and move to an authoritarian one just to make it happen.
People may describe things as authoritarian in process, but once the law is established by elected representatives, it is by my definition NOT authoritarian.
- acdha 3y ago> It was not necessary to toss out the political system and move to an authoritarian one just to make it happen. Where? When? It’s by definition not applicable to the topic of this thread.
- kcplate 3y agoWell it’s exactly what I was talking about from the very start of my comment thread. People not having patience for the political process to play out leading them to desire and adopt authoritarian means as their solution to get their way scaring the fuck out of me.
- acdha 3y agoThe comment you started with reads like it’s supporting the democratic process in evidence here and I haven’t seen any evidence that the poster had something else in mind. Failing to pass a carbon tax and finding other legislative paths which get more support is pretty much the opposite of authoritarianism.
