Authoritarian Progressivism

Authoritarian Progressivism (shortened to AuthProg) is an economically ambiguous (though usually centre-left), authoritarian, and culturally ultra-progressive 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). He believes that the state is the best apparatus for ensuring true social equality and creating a more open and inclusive society. It supports a benevolent dictatorship 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.
