Meh, there's some smart people that have come up with a pretty clear understanding of authoritarianism.

But your conclusion is also partly correct, the authoritarian personality is not inherently bad, they must first be weaponized.

I didn't say anything about the authoritarian personality and I don't really care that some people have figured out something they view as being integral to comprehending society. Honestly, I find life under the systems people like Fromm consider least authoritarian, think Sweden in the 70s, to still be be very brutal towards the masses.

But you know what, I believe your conclusion is also party correct. People with an "authoritarian" streak can be used to guard a worker's movement.
