I'm not sure I agree with your view.

Words are commonly misused but they still have meanings. In a society where the will of the majority is ignored in favour of the will of the few I think most people would agree it's an authoritarian society, it's usually not that black and white but every society is closer or further from authoritarian

Sure. But then the reverse is true, as well. Libertarians call it "mob rule"

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
