On Authority is a pointed response to the thought-terminating pejorative of “authoritarian.” If you haven’t read it, you should! It’s short and important =)
You want a change in society? You don’t care that fascists don’t want that change? Then you’re an authoritarian. Everything after that is a matter of degree.
I care about the fact that leaders have a huge say in everything in our lives. I do not wish for a system where I must cater to the whims of whomever is in charge.
