Dont confuse authoritarian with fashism.
Isn't oppressive authoritarianism one of the elements that make up fascism?
Fascism is explicitly right wing. If it's not right wing then it's still authoritarian, but not fascist.
Yeah, fascism includes authoritarianism but not the other way around. You can be authoritarian and not a fascist. Which doesn't make you good, just different flavour of bad
if by "authoritarian" you mean "when the government does stuff", then by your logic every government in existence is authoritarian.
Really don't feel like going into a supposed gotcha since you have to realize it's a sliding scale. So it's not my logic, it's your logic.
