In clashes of culture, in clashes of idea, in clashes of venality, authoritarianism is a comfort to many.
Messy
worlds always call for the rise and hope of the authoritarian.
Struggles demand order and order comes only when stasis can be reached
by some means of an acceptable balance of interests in a given society.
Chaos, threats to established mores, distrust of present power
structure, legitimacy of present power structures, aims of present power
structures all push for action, retaliation, desired order flowing from
desired necessary power.
All power vacuums invite challenges.
Systems who can be open to challenge are wary of any openings to shared
power or diminished power. Conflict breeds lack of order, danger.
Be
it here at home, be it in a different world, authoritarianism is always
lurking, is always an antidote to uncertainty, lack of acceptable
structure.
In clashes of culture, in clashes of idea, in clashes of venality, authoritarianism is a comfort to many.
