Progressive authoritarianism is the creation of higher authority as ideals, creeds, convictions, paragons or
Metaphysical Ideals
and Extra Mundane Authorities. These are considered progressed, advanced, improved or reformed, from what are natural and original states and conditions, such as the natural world or undeveloped and uncivilized conditions of humankind.
These Models of Expectation are considered as superior, elevated, advanced and sophisticated, above less materially developed cultures or states of humankind, and should be created, promoted, constructed, preserved and adhered too. These models are instanced by institutions of religious salvation, higher moral authority, such as reformist movements like anti-slavery, temperance or anti-abortion movements, enlightened educational reforms or political innovations. Progressive authoritarianism is distinct from the
Conservative, in that the authoritarianism is usually to maintain the elite status, of specific constituencies of the society, as opposed to the whole.
Those individuals and groups, who deem themselves as best conforming to Models of Expectation, whether Conservative or
Progressive, or feel it necessary to promote such models, for the good of a particular group or segment of society, or for the greater Whole, may use these paragons as justification for their decisions and actions, and act by authoritarian means for their promotion.
