    Not a bad lisy actually, although I heavily disagree with the military and police budgets line… Authoritarian left regimes are known for very high police and military budgets even with heavily states controlled economies.

    Edit: police and military spending tends to relate more to the libertarian-authoritarian spectrum rather than the socioeconomic left-right spectrum

      Conservatism is tends towards some degree of authoritarianism.

      There are no policies that are uniquely conservative, or uniquely anything for that matter. When taken together, however, you can see conservativism form before your eyes.

        Eh, so does Western Liberalism and basically every other government for the last hundreds of years, I’d argue that they are even authoritarian to very similar degrees but about different things.

          Right on the money about liberals not being too different from the less cooky conservatives, but there have been much more authoritarian systems and much less authoritarian systems in the last few hundred years.
