addressing where the seeds of authoritarianism are first planted: in our homes and in our schools.
The moment that you demand a child to value the voice of an external authority figure in place of his own internal authority... is the moment that you're creating a codependency on external authority figures.
Our desire to follow authoritarians doesn't come from thin air.
P.S. Statist socialism, or the only kind of socialism that has a historical record, is an excellent example of... yep, you guessed it... leftist authoritarianism. The bugger doesn't only grow on the right side of the garden.
