Quote:How about the USA in the middle of the 20th century or any part of western Europe right now?
The pattern holds true then and now, the more centralized power becomes the more authoritarian it becomes. Regardless of time, political affiliation, religion, right or left, centralization always equates more authoritarian power. It's the only centralization works, by consolidating power to a high entity or a central power.
I don't understand how you can argue with a straight face by giving power to fewer people it would be less authoritarian? We can debate which system is better which system has less abuse but you're trying to argue that having fewer people in power creates a system of more freedom that's just blissfully ignorant.
