== Authoritarianism ==
''See also:'' [[Authoritarianism]]
[[Authoritarianism]] is an [[ideology]] which affirms that individual rights and liberties do not matter and that the decisions of how society should be run should be left to a single [[dictator]] or a small group of elites. Authoritarianism comes in three main forms, although there could be others.
Some of the characteristics of authoritarianism include:
*A centralized government which attempts to gather all power to itself.
*Intolerance for dissent from official government positions.
*Large bureaucracies which become self-perpetuating, existing for their own sake rather than that of the people.
*Closed-door political decisions reached in secret.
*High levels of corruption.
