Well now we're back on historically described "Authoritarian regimes".
We had an extended discussion in the middle of this thread in which I was willing to retract the word and replace it with a concept of authority-oriented governing principles because people were getting stuck on old irrelevant examples.
roachboy added some good points regarding the inadmissability of historical definitions to the contemporary situation of the USA. I stated I appreciated his assistance in getting the discussion away from such "Authoritarian" examples as Soviet Russia, China, Iraq, etc etc.
As I've completely disavowed any interest in old Authoritarian paradigms and as my entire discussion revolves around the observation and description of new authority paradigms, I won't be continuing to comment on this regression of the discussion.
If it is possible to assimilate what has transpired earlier here and if it is possible to get on with the discussion before historical Authoritarian examples were brought up again, I may continue. Otherwise, I'm not going to restate what has already been discussed.
