The two are connected in that authoritarianism can occur in any institution of authority, not just government. The left want more centralized government power, but they are also happy to wield power and authority anywhere they can obtain it.

I didn't think I'd need to provide evidence that the left want to extend government reach, though. What do you think the 3.5 trillion dollar reconciliation bill will do? What do you think the failed "for the people" act tried to do? What do you think Biden tries to do when he has the CDC unconstitutionally ban evictions, or has OSHA force employers to vaccinate their employees against a disease with a .2% IFR?
