If Rush Limbaugh is a "brainwashed Nazi," then why is he so critical of government? A brainwashed minion wouldn't be critical either way, while a fascist would be critical of those they viewed as enemies of their "revolutionary state" (fascists also view themselves as social revolutionaries). Oh, wait. Maybe we have to assume that Obama represents the Weimar Republic (as if). Khmer Rouge is more like it. Speaking of which, why don't we hear as much criticism aimed at the authoritarian left?

@Falcon11259 Both are too weak to embrace Nationalism (which would be our Liberation).

@umadumLib What was "left" then is "right" now. Even the words "liberal" and "republican" had different meanings.

@umadumLib "Mischief," in that sense, means oppressing one's fellow man, either through violent crime or through corrupt government.

Erich Fromm has contributed great works regarding right and left wing authoritarianism. He was a german jew that was ran out of Germany in the 30's (for very obvious reasons) and has done great work since then.
Authoritarianism and Conservatism by Chanchal Bhattacharya is another great work that can be found online as well.

Back to my, " Authoritarianism exists in human nature" comment. "Let no more be said of confidence in man, but BIND HIM DOWN FROM MISCHEIF WITH THE CHAINS OF THE CONSTITUTION.." Thomas Jefferson. I do see Authoritarianism in some of my fellow conservatives. but there's no doubt it exist in "liberal progressives" as well, and i believe more rampant. Individualist, self governing, virtuous people are what stands in the way of the tyrant, be it Hitler, Mao or the old Monarchy's.

...control over the media. They long ago infiltrated the academic circles and are indoctrinating our children for decades. They want to have a Centrally planned economy. They want to force upon you the RELIGION of Climate Change, so they have control over all the wealth and distribute it globally, they speak of population control as well, and you are akin to a Holocaust denier if you disagree. I could go on for days, but is this not Authoritarian???

Authoritarianism exists in human nature not just in one political party. Our country was designed to protect against the dangers of human nature. Many conservatives have been duped by people like Bush 1 and 2 and even some of the nonsense that comes out of Rush, Beck and others, but the Right in this country are not inherently Fascists, Nazis or authoritarian. What is considered "Right" in America, is radicaly different from what is considered "Right" in Europe.

Monarchy's are considered Right wing, yet the Founders were extremely anti-Monarchy, but if you believe along the lines of the Founders you are considered Right wing??? The Left is extremely authoritarian. They want to control all industry, manufacturing, production, etc... They want to dictate and control who has wealth and who doesn't. Many want to disarm the people. They want to tell you what you can eat or drink and what you cant. They have pushed for the "Fairness Doctrine" to have more
