Authoritarianism seems to be the correct word.
I agree that the term fascist is wildly over-used, to the point where actual fascist behaviours are getting normalised.
- School-Cotton 1y agoAuthoritarian encompasses both Soviet Bloc-style communism as well as what I used to think was called fascism. However the other poster is claiming fascism now means both. So I need another word to describe the specific thing that I used to think was called fascism.
- disgruntledphd2 1y agoYeah, I'm with your original definition. I think it's important to distinguish between left wing and right wing authoritarianism as they tend to be quite different.
