Authoritarian systems are generally aimed at keeping people out of the political system

I may have conflated the management term of art, which is the environment in which I regularly used it, and the political one. Same concept, different nuance.

" But when you look at politics away from a right-left perspective and more from a decentralized/authoritarian angle, their similarities trump their obvious differences. "

That's from the Sullivan piece that John posted.
