    Can you name a non-authoritarian government?

        I have much more respect for this answer, which is ideologically consistent, than what I was expecting, which was for some liberal to go “Scandinavia”

      The answer doesn’t matter much:

      • Yes - democratic socialism
      • No - anarchism

      EDIT: misread, see reply

        So you couldn’t actually name a government.

          Oh, name, I thought you meant make.

          No. Next question.

            You also cant make one. Any actual government will be “authoritarian” because any government (by whatever name you choose) will wield state power. A good explanation is @[email protected]s example of enforcing health standards during a pandemic
