In my
understanding of left authoritarian, a leader guides followers to success through
strict rules and harsh punishment. On the economic side government controls most
of the economy and regulates business practices. Authoritarian is characterized by highly
centralized power that controls government completely. I'm not completely left
authoritarian; I feel that the government should have some control over
business regulations to keep things fair. Authoritarians believe in a higher
power. There has to be a leader, or like a head of the household. Submission to
authority is common among authoritarians. They think highly of punishment for
crime and children who disobey their parents should be physically punished. Authoritarians emphasize arbitrary law rather
than rule of law. They base laws of individual’s discretion. Most communist
would be considered hard left authoritarian. Communist governments completely
control their people’s government. Communists create a classless society where
all of its people are of the same wealth, no matter what your profession. Adolf
Hitler was one of the very extreme authoritarian people. He instructed the
population to take what he said as absolute law and any one would failed to
respect his authority could get the death sentence. Hitler loved control; he
was the alpha male of his society. This is just one of many extreme
authoritarians. Joseph Stalin was an extreme left authoritarian. Stalin created
a highly centralized control economy in the Soviet Union. Modern views of
Stalin explain him as a tyrant. Authoritarian could be looked at as a bad form
of government, if taken in extreme measures. I agree with most of authoritarian
beliefs but not to the point of complete control. I do believe there should be
a leader who guides us, and I feel we should be punished for the things we do
wrong. I feel a leader can help keep order, but he should have a set of rules
to follow.
