Embrace of the Strongman: Power Without Division

Authoritarianism is defended as necessary to prevent marginalized groups from becoming new oppressors, with a belief system rooted in a controversial justification of slavery as a natural societal hierarchy. This perspective is influenced by thinkers like Hans Hermann Hoppe, who advocates for monarchy as a privatized form of governance and critiques democracy as a transition that led to civilizational decline. Hoppe's views promote the notion that effective management relies on absolute power vested in a single individual, rejecting any form of power-sharing as ineffective.
