“There is no antithesis between authoritarian government and democracy. All government is authoritarian; and the more democratic a government, the more authoritarian because with the people behind it, it can push its authority further than any Tsar or foreign despot dare do.”

George Bernard Shaw 1856 – 1950 CE
UK playwright second only to Shakespeare
from New Republic, 1937
