Okay ARTele, what is the "new authority paradigm?" You haven't yet told us, despite repeated requests, how your new Authoritarianism differs in any way from the historical precedents you're supposedly opposed to. I submit Orwell's Oceania as one possiblility. Oceania is really an amalgamation of various authoritarian controls mixed with (then) future technologies. Control is omnipresent through two-way telescreens. Corruption is checked by terror, torture, brainwashing, and a cult of childhood purity (see: Khmer Rouge). Leadership is disembodied, it doesn't matter if Big Brother actually exists or not. He never needs to be replaced. If this isn't what you had in mind ARTele, then please tell us how you intend to implement your NEW brand of kinder gentler postmodern authoritarianism...
roachboy:
You argued that authoritarian governments engender a more fragmented, diverse, individualistic society and I ask for a comparative historical example. The nations must be relatively equal in size, industry, etc. and have existed at the same time.
