    That’s the whole point of authoritarianism.

    Lol no. You could say paternalism is authoritarian, but not the other way around. Authoritarianism is just about power.

    But as an aside, would you mind sharing your age? You don’t need to be specific, just say if you’re over or under 18. I have a… theory about people who obsess over the concept of “paternalism”.

      All paternalism is authoritarian. Not all authoritarianism is paternal.

      Middle aged. Your theory sounds bunk.
