Thankfully, the literature on it is quite extense. I have prepared some books to read on the “Authoritarian Personality” and on the “Sociology of Power”. It is just a shower thought after all.
Luckily I’ll be able to make sense of this and produce something that will make it able for people to understand it as well.
A blog post, a Lemmy comment, something like that.




The idea is that in a populist scenario the command chain of a dictator-like government has to repeat exactly what the leader says. And that would come from the responsible authoritarian leaders being representatives for the people. But in a way that they are the people. And that comes from a strong “I am you” image projected by the authoritarian leader.
I will elaborate more on this later as it interests me profoundly.
