It's always been more than a little suspicious that the people most worried about authoritarianism are typically the people who are most authoritarian. Maybe their fantasies about jackbooted thugs are just them projecting. Like the guy who says "people must have fear of Hell or they'll just steal, rape and kill." Oh, really?
