With no simmering cause demagogues don’t find great work
Demagoguery is a fine old, age old tried and true action, strategy, force, triumph. The passions of the dissatisfied and seemingly disenfranchised lots who are not very easily fought, diminished, put aside or nullified come with hard charging purpose, hard charging anger, hard scrabble self importance. The fight is to the fighters and the fighters love vessels that take them where they want to go. A good and noble demagogue can well find his or her wave, mount it smoothly, ride it skillfully and hope to manage its crash with aplomb. The wave can be a hard and forceful thing. Still waters can be made quite rough.
Smack down bullies, thugs, zealous men, women of the people are hard chargers who know their marks. The fire they offer is the burn craved by their adherents. With no simmering cause demagogues don’t find great work.

Authoritarian is until it is not

Fascism was defeated, discredited. Communism was imploded, discredited, by half. Wars, a century, were in the service of damning the authoritarian monolith. The core underpinnings of its grace was to have been eaten away by blood, sweat and tears. The rationals in a modern civilized world were to have no standing, no credence, no critical backing. Enlightenment was coming. Power was to be diffuse.
The authoritarian is. It is the natural state against which the rest must grapple. Order must be able to be maintained. Laws must have a trust and an enforcement. Competing interests must have access to the arenas of power. Bread must not be the major issue. Convenience, the major excuse.
Monolithic religion. Monolithic states. Two bit ideologues. The rise is in the justifications or all. These are acceptable things in the world. The philosophies of life allow, encourage, demand them. Power is also a desirable aim. It is what the world runs upon. It is not an evil unto itself. Strong figures are desirable in a tough world.
Authoritarian is until it is not.
