tenants of left wing authoritarians (LWA)
— intolerance of conventionalism
— authoritarian submission (often to media, elite class and/ or medical establishment)
— authoritarian aggression

“LWA resembles RWA in being characterized by high levels of dogmatism, punitive attitudes toward dissenters, and desire for strong authority figures”
studies found this three factor structure had the best fit ->
—Anti-hierarchical Aggression
—Left-wing Conventionalism
—Prohibition of Protected Speech
—Anti-hierarchical Aggression
—Left-wing Conventionalism
—Prohibition of Protected Speech
‘Authoritarianism as a general set of attitudes includes dogmatism, a preference for conformity, willingness to coercively enforce behavioral standards, punitiveness toward perceived enemies, and a strong concern with hierarchy’
these studies are a follow up on the original works on Right-Wing Authoritiarism which coined the term ‘authoritarian personality’ which consisted of
— Submission to legitimate authorities
— Political aggression
— Adherence to traditional cultural values
— Submission to legitimate authorities
— Political aggression
