“We asked American participants to identify the number of left-wing authoritarians in their lives, and I was very surprised at the sheer number they identified,” Conway told PsyPost. “I had predicted the average American would identify 1 or 2, and I laughed at a non-academic who predicted closer to 15. But the truth was very much closer to 15 than to 1.”
“In fact, even liberal participants identified on average quite a large number of liberal authoritarians in their lives.
I get SO sick of this old lie...”It’s obvious to a lot of people that left-wing persons can be just as authoritarian as right-wing persons...”
I’ve yet to meet a single right-wing person who had any authoritarian streak. The left conflates laws meant to provide societal stability and the conservation of the Republic with “authoritarian.” Like laws banning child mutilation under the pretext of “affirmative care” or putting some limits on abortion. The left declares such laws as “authoritarian,” but they are really meant to strengthen an immoral society.

Is the myth of left-wing authoritarianism itself a myth?

Concluding Thoughts
Using a multi-method approach spanning multiple content areas, validity types, statistical controls, and scale types, the present results consistently show that, just as right-wing persons are sometimes authoritarian, left-wing persons may also be similarly authoritarian. Taken together, this large array of evidence suggests that left-wing authoritarianism is more of a reality than a myth.
We certainly did not need a study to tell us that. These leftiat want to control everything.
Um, yea.
They’re called Communists.
They killed tens of millions and enslaved hundreds of millions.
That’s the issue.
Left wing authoritarians killed way more than the few right side versions.
The problem is the customary "it isn't oppression when we do it" blindness of a ruling class convinced that their motivations are purely benevolent - has anyone forgotten Hillary Clinton's perfect summation: "We're going to take things away from you for the Common Good"? Its all in the "we" and the "you" there. It's actually pretty hard to ignore once you're on the receiving end, and that the speaker intends you to be there for life.
Interesting discussion on this topic with Dennis Praeger:

Left wing academia can't see it because it's the water they swim in..
An authoritarian mental disorder based on a unhealthy or totally lacking self worth. So they need morons elected in above them to take care of them and rob and bully productive people. Just imagine if they all got sent to Greenland. They would probably figure out how to tip it over and capsized it....
Good evidence.
John Pettigrew, the UK National Grid chief, said:,
"Blackouts would have to be imposed during the "deepest darkest evenings" in January and February, if electricity generators did not have enough gas to meet demand, especially if there is a period of cold weather.
The UK has beat Gorebull warming and probably over population in the UK!
It was always a stone cold lie created by left wing authoritarians from the Frankfurt School during the McCarthy era— that Hitler was was a rightist.
Americans from the 1020s-1940 understood the nazis another german left wing street gang—like the communists in the 1920’s— that came to power.
“left-wing persons can be just as authoritarian as right-wing persons,”
Oh please! What is authoritarian about the right other than “leave me and my children alone”?
The left is socialist and hence authoritarian. There is the left and there is everything else.
No kidding?
