@gnu2 I wouldn't claim that it is the opposite, no. They are certainly largely opposed, but I think it's an oversimplification to say any one political ideology is the direct opposite of another. if I did have to pick one, I'd probably say true democracy is the opposite of authoritarianism. the opposite of libertarianism would probably be communism or socialism, I guess? like I said I think its hard to simplify it to such a comparison
