This is interesting. I don't doubt left-wing authoritarianism, obviously. I've been addressing it. Been looking to see if I have any of these views. Kind of! But probably not how it's meant. https://twitter.com/goddoesnt/status/944340324532604929 …
I suspect that is the difference. It doesn't make much sense with an English sense of liberalism.

I need to read the full article, but looking at the scale this seems like a poor study- seems like a biased measure.

This is what I have been commenting on too. The silencing and destroying of dissent is authoritarian but not thinking that leaders should be strong and liberal and that people should believe proper authorities.

People may be inclined to want to force their own worldview on people in general. No doubt in my mind the left do this too. But any decent measure would have items that aren't so charged- ask someone their political beliefs 1/2

in my view is to develop an ideologically neutral authoritarianism scale focusing on attitudes towards political opponents and towards differentially authoritarian methods of advancing one's political goals, such speech restrictions for one's pol. adversaries. /3
