One of the definitions of authoritarian is characterized by or favoring obedience. That being said, I'm just making a joke and I'm way to sober right now to properly debate this.
haha yeah, you are right about it being "one of" the definitions. I think traditionally though saying "authoritarian" is much more about how one would apply their ideas to others. Accepting the authority only comes as a consequence of a desire to rule over others.
