Authoritarianism in Illuminatia

Authoritarianism is not an approved or recognized power structure in Illuminatian government, and it is strongly discouraged as a form of governance within organizations and corporations.

guidelines for human settlement of the Neonisi planet put in place by the Lucidus mission forbade arrangements in government and public affairs that might encourage the centralization of power or the placement of excessive control or influence behind a political plurality. Concepts such as autocracy, despotism, and dictatorship are rejected in Illuminatian political discourse, and structures such as monarchy and nobility are not supported in Illuminatia's system of politics or economics.

Authoritarianism is among the most avoided political concepts in Illuminatia, as it is understood its prominence could inspire undesirable and potentially detrimental consequences in politics and society, which would threaten the success of the Lucidus mission, its habitation of Neonisi, and potentially the survival of the Illuminatian branch of humanity, in much the way as it was widely understood to have had such effects throughout Earthy human history.

Public discourse encourages freedom of speech and freedom of information as highly-prized constructs fostered among the Illuminatian populace as strong tools to discourage authoritarianism and other detrimental political structures. The diffusion of audiences in Illuminatian mass media across a diverse quantity of media outlets and the non-concentration of power over those media outlets is recognized as a useful structure for avoiding a media situation that might encourage authoritarianism through the concentration of power among too-small a number of media outlets.
