Libertarians and the Authoritarian Personality

Like the United States, Australia has a libertarian political party. As in the United States it is plagued with dissension and gets very few votes. Once called the Workers party, it is now called the Progress party. Upon its formation it was immediately identified by the press and much of the community as right-wing and indeed “fascist”. Party members and even libertarians who are not party members are also commonly so described. Similar experiences could be related from other parts of the world.
