Irrational Authority, Irrational Doubt and Contemporary Left-Wing Authoritarianism
摘要
This paper attempts to elucidate Erich Fromm’s theory of authority, its implications for human development and by extension, the psychological dynamics that underlie authoritarianism on the Left today. However, readers unfamiliar with my previous work should note that the argument I present is not intended to suggest that the Left is completely riddled with authoritarianism.
