Authoritarianism

"This article is talking about Authoritarianism itself. For categories, see: AuthUnity,  AuthLeft and  AuthRight"

Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by strong (usually central) power that demands obedience to authority and limited political and civil freedoms. While a multitude of different typologies has been developed by political scientists to classify authoritarian states, qualities commonly associated with authoritarian regimes include the absence of free and competitive democratic elections and one-party state, as well as censorship, and minimal power restrictions.

History
Authoritarianism arose during the transition from Tribes to cities. The first authoritarians were Monarchs, who had gained power through dynasties. Later in Greece, Democracy arose, which quickly became authoritarian. This stayed relatively the same until Enlightenment, which resulted in  numerous  rebellions against authority. These new positions quickly  became authoritarian, thus continuing the cycle.

Leaders and whose regimes have commonly been regarded as being Authoritarian include Saddam Hussein in  Iraq,  Francisco Franco in  Spain,  Antonio de Oliveira Salazar in  Portugal,  Alfredo Stroessner in  Paraguay,  Augusto Pinochet in  Chile,  Ruhollah Khomeini in  Iran,  Fidel Castro in  Cuba,  Emperor Hirohito in  Japan,   Saudi Arabia,  Muammar Gaddafi in  Libya,  Vladimir Putin in  Russia,  Alexandr Lukashenko in  Belarus, etc.

Other famous examples include Juan Peron in  Argentina,  Maximilien Robespierre in  France, and more recently,  Hamas and  Fatah in  Palestine.

Personality and Behavior
Auth is very demanding and angry, but will become enraged if you mention this. He also hates it if you call him totalitarian.
