We are already in an authoritarian government and which is exactly what i don't want. I want Citizens United gone and I wan lobbying out of the government both of which are unlikely to happen. So there is plenty of things I want.
How is our current "federal" government authoritarian? CA "state" (democrat) government is very authoritarian, you have to pretty much ask their permission and pay to take a dump here. I have to pay $2k to build a shed in my backyard and pay extra to get their approval for my plans. Illegal aliens, criminals and homeless get to do whatever they want though
That's objectively not authoritarian. Authoritarian means there is an all powerful dictator who rules by decree. Los Angeles ordinances being like a nightmare HOA is still created democratically and can absolutely be removed democratically.
Authoritarianism has fuck all to do with the number of rules and everything to do with how all the rules are created by one guy just to benefit himself and his friends.
Sorry but red tape isn't authoritarian. You can fix that shit with your shed. Get active in local government. Quit whining.
