This thread has derailed from my original intent, and it is largely my fault for mentioning political parties, which I knew at the time was strictly inaccurate but seemed expedient when replying to @ashlesha. My bad.

I think it would be constructive to read the original source material and discuss the nature of Authoritarianism as a set of beliefs. It might even be an intrinsic characteristic of some subset of humanity, rather than a learned or inherited belief system.
