Again, JumpinJesus' "definition" which you seem to find so illuminating flies in the face of many professional historians and better statesmen than ourselves who have referred to both China and Russia - as well as Hussein's Iraq as interchangeably Authoritarian and Totalitarian.
I have let go of the term Authoritarianism because it carries with it the baggage of an historical term of art - which professional historians use as a generality to group together the somewhat and inexact aspects of various dissimilar societies and conditions. I have offered to replace it with the concept "Authoritarian Principles" in the interest of promoting substantive discussion.
You have ignored all of this and continue to push toward a semantic cul-de-sac. All of your statements are irrelevant.
I won't be responding here again unless someone is interested in pursuing substantive issues regarding Authoritarian Principles.
