Authoritarian Progressivism

Currently under construction!

Authoritarian Progressivism, shortened to AuthProg, is an economically ambiguous (though usually center-left or  left-wing),  authoritarian and socially  progressive to ultraprogressive ideology who supports the creation of a strong state that  opposes democracy; it also uses  authoritarian methods to enforce  culturally and  socially progressive values (sometimes additionally supporting  technological progress). It believes that the state is the best apparatus for ensuring true social equality and creating a more  open and inclusive society, as well as driving society forward to embrace progressive ideals such as  women's rights, separation of church and state, abolition of regressive traditions and  adherence to science and reason.

It supports either a benevolent dictatorship or a  technocracy that supports  progressivism and sometimes additionally advocates for a  social safety net that would benefit the populace. He asserts that his methods are necessary to ensure that conservative ideas on society and culture he sees as  "oppressive" or  "reactionary" cannot gain power in the political sphere, thus ensuring unimpeded social progress and an equal society for all.
