Left-wing authoritarianism remains far less understood than right-wing authoritarianism. We contribute to the literature on the former, which typically relies on surveys, using a new social media analytics approach. We use a list of 60 terms to provide an exploratory sketch of the outlines of a political ideology (tribal equalitarianism) with origins in 19th and 20th century social philosophy. We then use analyses of the English Corpus of Google Books (over 8 million books) and scraped unique tweets from Twitter (n = 202,852) to conduct a series of investigations to discern the extent to which this ideology is cohesive amongst the public, reveals signatures of authoritarianism and has been growing in popularity. Though exploratory, our results provide some evidence of left-wing authoritarianism in two forms (1) a uniquely conservative moral signature amongst ostensible liberals using measures from Moral Foundations Theory and (2) a substantial prevalence of anger, relative to anxiety or sadness. In general, results indicate that this worldview is growing in popularity, is increasingly cohesive, and shows signatures of authoritarianism.

左翼专制主义的道德基础:部落平等主义话语的特征,凝聚力和影响力

左翼专制主义远没有右翼专制主义理解。我们使用一种新的社交媒体分析方法为前者的文献做出贡献,后者通常依赖于调查。我们使用60个术语的列表来提供对19世纪和20世纪社会哲学起源的政治意识形态(部落平等主义)概述的探索性草图。然后,我们使用对Google图书英语语料库(超过800万本书)的分析,并从Twitter抓取了独特的推文(n = 202,852)进行了一系列调查,以了解该意识形态在公众中的凝聚力程度,揭示了签名威权主义,并已越来越受欢迎。虽然是探索性的 我们的研究结果提供了两种形式的左翼专制主义证据:(1)使用道德基础理论的措施,在表面上的自由主义者中具有独特的保守道德特征;(2)相对于焦虑或悲伤,愤怒普遍存在。总体而言,结果表明,这种世界观正在日益普及,凝聚力越来越强,并显示出威权主义的标志。
