I vaguely remember a user debunking this claim but I cannot find that comment and I don’t remember what post it was on.

    I don’t disagree with socialism overall I just think it provides greater benefit in certain situations. For example Norway might not benefit from greater socialism in the way that Saudi Arabia would.

    Authoritarianism in this case is the traditional right of the classic left/right binary from the French Revolution. While some nations have been less inclined to listen to the people in this case authoritarianism is those that have little to no input in their government eg Iran or NK.

    Your economic system isn’t what makes a nation authoritarian.
