The authority for human activity and behavior is the natural world, and the propensity to authoritarianism is less, because there is less need for greater numbers of human laborers to produce Excess and Profit, and an authoritarian hierarchy of efficiency, that best produces excess. Authoritarianism is more limited to localized and individual inclinations, as opposed to inherent aspects of economic and political systems.
Authoritarianism is defined here, as the propensity of the individual to demand that the self and others, follow and obey dictates, precepts, standards, rules, models, laws and orders. Authoritarianism means that the individual is subject to authority greater than themselves, as an absence of will, subject to dictates of which they are expected to conform and correspond. This authority can be anything from God to one's boss, the police or political power, to one's parents, teachers, the law. The most fundamental means of the promotion of authoritarianism, is by the actual use or threat of force, punishment by physical restraint, fine, forfeiture, loss of property, jail, death or threats against persons valuable to the individual.
With the adoption of
Excess and Profit, and more proper, specific and complicated models of expectation, the greater is the need for a hierarchy of efficiency, that can promote these objectives and goals. When models of expectation, to which individuals are demanded to conform, are states and conditions which are progressively developed, from what is a state or entities, as original, natural and undeveloped condition, the term progressive authoritarianism can be used.
