    We know what authoritarianism is.

    Do we? A lot of people think it’s when one guy controls everything. In reality, autocracies have hella internal dynamics and quite often exercise less control than a democracy would over a given thing as a result. There’s also people that think having to take simple measures to avoid spreading plagues is authoritarian, and people who think entirely removing due process isn’t.

    To actually answer: It depends on context, because it’s not really an ideology in itself. It can mean opposing existing autocracies, or it can mean opposing more mechanisms of control, perhaps in the fear it will eventually lead to autocracy. Sometimes it just means whoever wants to not have to do anything.

    Antidisestablishmentarianism but against Nazis instead of the Church of England.

      Not mutually exclusive. Just extremely rare, for obvious reasons.

    The opposite of authoritarian extremism is probably libertarian extremism

        I mean, both are opposites in their own way.

      Which of those extremes does most of the population benefit the most from?

        Is it better to have no law or evil law? Most extremism have their own unique problems if they are exclusionary to pluralism.

    Freedom.

    A government that works for the people.

    A person who is against authoritarianism.

    Depends on how you define “opposite”. I’m thinking direct democracy or anarchy.
