Authoritarianism is the opposite of liberalism. It says “you are the cause of my problem because you do not do what is right and proper, you are sinful, evil, and politically corrupt.” You see this in current extremist Christian/Islamic/Buddhist terrorism. You saw it in extreme Japanese and Nazi militarism of the 30′s and 40′s and extreme communism (Pol Pot, Stalin, etc.). It says “here is what you must live for, you have no right to be a liberalized individual.”
