Political ideology
Authoritarian conservatism is a political ideology that seeks to uphold order , tradition and hierarchy , often with forcible suppression of radical and revolutionary enemies such as communists , Nazis , and anarchists .[ 1] Authoritarian conservative movements and regimes have included Chiangism in China,[ 2] Metaxism in Greece,[ 3] Putinism in Russia, and Francoism in Spain.[ 4]
Although the concept of authority has been identified as a core tenet of conservatism in general,[ 5] [ 6] authoritarian conservatism is only one of many different forms of conservatism . It is contrasted with libertarian conservatism , which is the most common form of conservatism in the United States .[ 7]
