Authoritarian Democracy

Authoritarian Democracy is an authoritarian ideology that believes that an authoritarian leader should be elected  democratically. This can be by either by the population, a few higher members of society, or corporate groups. When they're elected, they have the power of a dictator and rules in the interest of the people (or so they say).

Beliefs
There are 4 types of authoritarian democracies: Bonapartist, Fascist, Democratic Centralist, and People's Democratic. The Bonapartians believe that when the authoritarian leader is elected he should have the confidence of the people and that the enlightened authority that is responsive to the needs and clamour of the people.

The Fascists on the other hand reject the conventional concept of democracy as in a majoritarian democracy that assumes equality of citizens and rather has it replaced by a corporatist representation of state-sanctioned corporate groups that would unite people into interest groups to address the state that would act in the interest of the general will of the nation and thus exercise an orderly form of popular rule.

Democratic Centralism is a practice in which political decisions reached by voting processes are binding upon all members of the political party. Although mainly associated with Leninism, wherein the party's political vanguard composed of professional revolutionaries practised democratic centralism to elect leaders and officers as well as to determine policy through free discussion, then decisively realised through united action, democratic centralism has also been practised by social democratic parties.

People's Democracy believes that a multiparty system can exist within a Marxism-Leninist government. It emerged from the Anti Fascist movements within ML circles. It was deemed needed by some to form a popular front against fascists and bourgeois reactionaries. This system was used mostly across Eastern Europe, but also in other countries like China and Vietnam. It was also used by non-Marxist, yet still (nominally) socialist countries like Syria, with the National Progressive Front.

Gilmourism is based on the thoughts of Scottish political figure William Weir Gilmour.

He was born in Lanarkshire, United Kingdom at 1905 and started out working as a  miner while he was at one time a mining surveyor based at a small village called Annathill but also in 1920, he was elected to the  Institution of Mining Engineers.

In 1931, William Weir Gilmour worked as a salesman but he started his political activity in his birthplace location as a member of the  "Independent Labour Party" 1893-1975 in which He was a delegate to the  Glasgow Trades along with the Labour Council and then his first public candidature came at the 1931 General Election but later he joined the  "New Party" 1931-1932 recently founded by  Oswald Mosley and he fought the Lanarkshire seat of Coatbridge but without success with 674 votes.

In 1933, William Weir Gilmour along with Major Hume Sleigh founded the "Scottish Democratic Fascist Party" (SDFP) in Edinburgh while the it sought to get rid of  Christian Catholicism by prohibit  Irish Immigration to  Scotland, expel Catholic religious orders from Scotland and repeal the Education Act 1918 in which allowed Catholic schools into the state system funded through education rates. Catholics are not permitted to join the political party while it explained their Anti-Catholic rationale as being that the party was "Scotland First" and alleged that it did not wish to establish a  dictatorship while not publicly advocating violence but the party had the "Defence Corp" to keep order at party meetings but also members of the "Defence Corp" are blackshirts while members of the party are blueshirts.

The "Scottish Democratic Fascist Party" (SDFP) was at odds with the "British Union of Fascists" (BUF) 1932-1940 particularly over the issue of Catholicism in which they are accused of having Catholics making up a high percentage of membership even in Northern England while William Weir Gilmour denouncing the British Fascists as being run by Catholics, organised by Catholics & in the interests of Roman Catholics and later Gilmour opined that the party's virulent Anti-Catholicism may have unintentionally undermined Fascism in Scotland by putting off prospective Catholic recruits.

In June 12th 1933, William Weir Gilmour founded the monthly newspaper called the "Commonwealth" but only two issues were published though while the "Scottish Democratic Fascist Party" failed to attract wide support and later the party begun remove the Anti-Catholic elements from its platform resulting in members leaving including Alexander Ratcliffe who is leader of the  Scottish Protestant League (SPL) 1920-1940. In 1937, he was elected to Town Council at Peebles for which he remained a member for more than 20 years but the "Scottish Democratic Fascist Party" was unknowingly dissolved and in the 1945 General Election after World War 2 he was organizer for the Labour &  Co-operative Party candidates in Dumfriesshire while he was a frequent speaker on Labour platforms during the election but also acted as Election Agent for the Labour candidate.

Before the 1950 General Election, William Weir Gilmour moved to the Liberal Party (LP) 1859-1989 and somehow he managed to get himself chosen as the Liberal candidate to contest the election following boundary changes a new constituency of Midlothian & Peebles was created but the local liberal associations were still organised on the old boundaries along with the Peebles or the Southern Midlothian association in which covered much of the new seat publicly stated that they had never been consulted on the adoption of Gilmour as Liberal candidate because of his Fascist past. The Chairman of the association along one other committee member resigned in protest at Gilmour's selection and the association secretary said "Councillor Gilmour was not adopted by the Association and we are making no recommendation to Liberals as to how they should vote". In the 1950 General Election, William Weir Gilmour along with the Liberal party generally lost the elections by finishing third with 4,365 votes that leads him to lose his deposit and he did not stand for parliament again.

In 1956, William Weir Gilmour was sent to a mental hospital to spent time here but later in 1957, he attracted national publicity when he criticised on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) television news with obscene language and in 1970, Gilmour was sentenced to two years in prison for child sexual abuse grooming. In 1979, he published a book on Famous Scottish people and in 1998, he died at the age of 93.
