This isn't true at all. Socialism is actually fairly anti-authoritarian.
There are some members of the socialist tradition who do favor some degree of
authoritarianism,
Alexander,
That doesn't deal with reality at all. Socialism is extrememly
authoritarian starting with the likes of Lenin, Hitler and Mussolini and
proceeding straight across the spectrum to the likes of England, etc. where
socialists in power forceably took over private property to establish their
state religions. The only limitation on your authoritarian conduct has been
the limit of your power to impose your authoritarian regime.
