How do you go from protecting property rights to authoritarianism? Protecting individual rights seem to be directly opposite?

Property rights are not absolute and may be properly abridged, within limits, through the democratic process. But the Right holds they are absolute (at least for those on their side) and so it is the democratic process that should be abridged --> authoritarianism.

Right-wing authoritarians may well use a defense of property rights as a fig-leaf to help gain political power, but the principle itself is the completely counter to authoritarianism.

It's funny that this only lasts until the government is seizing property to ~build the wall~ or civil forfeiture targeted at average people or when the government pays billions to private companies to imprison people to be used for forced labor.

Liberalism = "possessive individualism" I remember being shocked by C. B. Macpherson back when I was young and shockable.

Property rights are a basic underpinning of a free society. There’s nothing authoritarian about it.
