Authoritarian Democracy is an 
authoritarian ideology that believes that an authoritarian leader should be elected 
democratically. This can be by either by the population, a few higher members of society, or corporate groups. When they're elected, they have the power of a dictator and rules in the interest of the people (or so they say).
Disambiguation
In the realm of political science, 
"authoritarian democracy" is often seen as an oxymoron. Because a democratic government, according to most political scientists, is one where the population is actively engaged in making political decisions. An authoritarian regime exhibits "political apathy," where politics are the concern of an elite which excludes the masses from having any real say. As such, an authoritarian democracy cannot exist since it means a politically engaged commons are apathetic to politics, which is a contradiction. It is thus impossible for a democratic regime—no matter how much it restricts individual rights or civil liberties—to be authoritarian. Nor is it possible for an authoritarian regime to be legitimately democratic.
There are, of course, political scientists and philosophers who disagree with this. 
James Burnham in his book 
"Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom" argued that representative democracies are inherently 
oligarchic. An elite inevitably forms which wields true political power (usually a 
bureaucratic class) and democracy is seen as a method of manipulating the masses toward their goals. As such, excluding 
direct forms of the system, democracy is truly impossible. However, Burnham argued that a 
representative democracy is the best form of oligarchy since it is the only system in which the interests of the elite and the masses are aligned, since the former sustains its power by catering to the latter and pulling strings. Probably the most obvious example of this is 
Singapore under the 
People's Action Party, which is democratic on the surface but the ruling party relies on a heavily 
technocratic apparatus to sustain power and wields an unfair advantage over other parties.
There are also authoritarian regimes which have the illusion of democracy. An electocracy, for instance, has democratically-elected representatives, but those officials have minimal accountability and often exhibit corruption (e.g., 
Thailand under 
Thaksin Shinawatra). There is also 
"majoritarian authoritarianism" where a political elite is democratically elected, but lack any respect for legal institutions or the rule of law (i.e., 
Turkey under 
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan). There are other systems which are democratic on the surface, but is either an illusion or the elite exercises enough control to undermine democratic institutions to their advantage.
But outside of political science—particularly with respect to 
journalism and what regular people think—"authoritarian" means any government which suppresses civil liberties, regardless of how politically engaged the masses are. One example is the "Patriot Act" under 
President George W. Bush, which was accused of being authoritarian for allegedly creating a 
surveillance state. Critics have accused 
defensive democracies like 
Germany of utilizing authoritarian measures (e.g., restricting freedom of speech and press) to exclude dissidents (e.g., 
neo-Nazis) from holding power, even if the intent is to preserve democratic institutions.
The focus of this page, therefore, is on:
- Democratic administrations which crackdown on civil liberties (e.g., the right to privacy).
- Authoritarian regimes where democracy is an illusion or highly restricted to conserve an elite's power.
- Governments which combine characteristics of the above.
Variants
Authoritarian Liberal Democracy
Authoritarian Liberal Democracy is a variant of liberal democracy were the political power is centralized into the select hands of a few important governing officials for reasons that vary on the situation, which weakens the political freedoms of said governing system.
Illiberal Democracy
Illiberal Democracy (also known as Majoritarian Authoritarianism) is a form of governance were the governing system is democratic and elections take place, but civil liberties are curbed and the average citizens are cut off from knowledge about the activites of those who exercise real power. Thus, not making it constitute as an open society. The rulers of an illiberal democracy may ignore or bypass constitutional limits on their power. They also tend to ignore the will of the minority which is what makes the democracy illiberal. Elections in an illiberal democracy are often manipulated or rigged, being used to legitimize and consolidate the incumbent rather to choose the country's leaders and policies.
Totalitarian Democracy
Totalitarian Democracy is a form of totalitarianism in which lawfully elected representatives maintain the integrity of a nation state whose citizens, while granted the right to vote, have little or no participation in the decision-making process of the government.
Beliefs
There are five types of authoritarian democracies: Bonapartist, Fascist, Democratic Centralist, People's Democratic, and Machiavellian. The Bonapartians believe that when the authoritarian leader is elected he should have the confidence of the people and that the enlightened authority that is responsive to the needs and clamour of the people.
The Fascists on the other hand reject the conventional concept of democracy as in a majoritarian democracy that assumes equality of citizens and rather has it replaced by a corporatist representation of state-sanctioned corporate groups that would unite people into interest groups to address the state that would act in the interest of the general will of the nation and thus exercise an orderly form of popular rule.
Democratic Centralism is a practice in which political decisions reached by voting processes are binding upon all members of the political party. Although mainly associated with Leninism, wherein the party's political vanguard composed of professional revolutionaries practised democratic centralism to elect leaders and officers as well as to determine policy through free discussion, then decisively realised through united action, democratic centralism has also been practised by social democratic parties.
People's Democracy believes that a multiparty system can exist within a Marxism-Leninist government. It emerged from the Anti Fascist movements within ML circles. It was deemed needed by some to form a popular front against fascists and bourgeois reactionaries. This system was used mostly across Eastern Europe, but also in other countries like Nepal. It was also used by non-Marxist, yet still (nominally) socialist countries like Syria, with the National Progressive Front.
Machiavellians believe that representative democracy (a "commonwealth republic") is inherently oligarchic and for this reason embrace it. They believe such a government results in power being concentrated in the hands of a bureaucratic elite which utilizes democratic institutions to stay in power. They believe such a bureaucracy will manipulate and cater to the masses as well, meaning their interests are incidentally aligned with the common folk.
History
Democratic Fascism
Gilmourism
Gilmourism is based on the thoughts of Scottish political figure William Weir Gilmour.
He was born in Lanarkshire, 
United Kingdom at 1905 and started out working as a 
miner while he was at one time a mining surveyor based at a small village called Annathill but also in 1920, he was elected to the 
Institution of Mining Engineers.
In 1931, William Weir Gilmour worked as a 
salesman but he started his political activity in his birthplace location as a member of the 
"Independent Labour Party" 1893-1975 in which He was a delegate to the 
Glasgow Trades along with the Labour Council and then his first public candidature came at the 1931 General Election but later he joined the 
"New Party" 1931-1932 recently founded by 
Oswald Mosley and he fought the Lanarkshire seat of Coatbridge but without success with 674 votes.
In 1933, William Weir Gilmour along with Major Hume Sleigh founded the 
"Scottish Democratic Fascist Party" (SDFP) in Edinburgh while the it sought to get rid of 
Christian Catholicism by prohibit 
Irish Immigration to 
Scotland, expel Catholic religious orders from Scotland and repeal the Education Act 1918 in which allowed Catholic schools into the state system funded through education rates. Catholics are not permitted to join the political party while it explained their 
Anti-Catholic rationale as being that the party was "Scotland First" and alleged that it did not wish to establish a 
dictatorship while not publicly advocating violence but the party had the "Defence Corp" to keep order at party meetings but also members of the "Defence Corp" are blackshirts while members of the party are blueshirts.
The "Scottish Democratic Fascist Party" (SDFP) was at odds with the "British Union of Fascists" (BUF) 1932-1940 particularly over the issue of Catholicism in which they are accused of having Catholics making up a high percentage of membership even in Northern England while William Weir Gilmour denouncing the British Fascists as being run by Catholics, organised by Catholics & in the interests of Roman Catholics and later Gilmour opined that the party's virulent Anti-Catholicism may have unintentionally undermined 
Fascism in Scotland by putting off prospective Catholic recruits.
In June 12th 1933, William Weir Gilmour founded the monthly newspaper called the "Commonwealth" but only two issues were published though while the "Scottish Democratic Fascist Party" failed to attract wide support and later the party begun remove the Anti-Catholic elements from its platform resulting in members leaving including Alexander Ratcliffe who is leader of the 
Scottish Protestant League (SPL) 1920-1940. In 1937, he was elected to Town Council at Peebles for which he remained a member for more than 20 years but the "Scottish Democratic Fascist Party" was unknowingly dissolved and in the 1945 General Election after World War 2 he was organizer for the 
Labour & 
Co-operative Party candidates in Dumfriesshire while he was a frequent speaker on Labour platforms during the election but also acted as Election Agent for the Labour candidate.
Before the 1950 General Election, William Weir Gilmour moved to the 
Liberal Party (LP) 1859-1989 and somehow he managed to get himself chosen as the Liberal candidate to contest the election following boundary changes a new constituency of Midlothian & Peebles was created but the local liberal associations were still organised on the old boundaries along with the Peebles or the Southern Midlothian association in which covered much of the new seat publicly stated that they had never been consulted on the adoption of Gilmour as Liberal candidate because of his Fascist past. The Chairman of the association along one other committee member resigned in protest at Gilmour's selection and the association secretary said "Councillor Gilmour was not adopted by the Association and we are making no recommendation to Liberals as to how they should vote". In the 1950 General Election, William Weir Gilmour along with the Liberal party generally lost the elections by finishing third with 4,365 votes that leads him to lose his deposit and he did not stand for 
parliament again.
In 1956, William Weir Gilmour was sent to a mental hospital to spent time here but later in 1957, he attracted national publicity when he criticised on the 
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) television news with obscene language and in 1970, Gilmour was sentenced to two years in prison for child sexual abuse grooming. In 1979, he published a book on Famous Scottish people and in 1998, he died at the age of 93.
Leccisism
Leccisism is based on the thoughts of Italian political figure Domenico Leccisi.
He was born in Molfetta, 
Italy on May 20th, 1920 but there is not much information about his childhood and he was a member of the 
National Fascist Party (PNF) 1921-1943 while also being a trade union leader. During World War Two 1939-1945, he served in Italian Cavalry Army/Arma Di Cavalleria on the Invasion Of France along with the Balkan Front and then he joined the Italian Social Republic as an exponent of 
Left-Wing Fascism. During the Italian Civil War 1943-1945, In this period he published numerous articles in support of the Fascist government including 
Benito Mussolini along with supporting of 
Socialization of the economy but has entered into controversy with Minister Angelo Tarchi of The Corporate Economy regarding the alleged implementation delays and in April 25th, 1945, he wrote a speech in a newspaper called "Repubblica Fascista" during its last issue.
On November 2nd, 1945, he founded the 
Democratic Fascist Party 1945-1946 with Mauro Rana & Antonio Parozzi at the Odeon cinema in Milan and the action of this political party is by letting the members along with the followers set fire to the posters along with the billboards of a 
Anti-Fascist Comedy film called "Rome, Open City" directed by Roberto Rossellini. In January 1946, Rana along with other members occupied a printing house in Corso Garibaldi forcing employees to print copies of a political newspaper called "Lotta Fascista" a clandestine sheet that had a certain diffusion in the city in which was mainly dealt with by Brunilde Tanzi who was then a victim of the Volante Rossa on January 17th, 1947, and in April 11th, 1946, Domenico Leccisi sent a letter to Minister Giuseppe Romitafor of the Interior & Ettore Troilo who is the last perfect in which proposing a political compromise that would throw a catwalk between Fascism & Anti-Fascism on condition that the release the fascists from imprisonment in San Vittore along with permission to celebrate a mass in suffrage of the fallen of the Italian Social Republic but if he would have reserved the right to start the struggle in the name of his martyrs.
In April 22th 1946, during the night Domenico Leccisi, Mauro Rana, and Antonio Parozzi went to the Musocco Cemetery where they dug up 
Benito Mussolini's corpse from his unmarked grave to be taken away with a wheelbarrow to a village in the high mountains known as Madesimo in which causes an enormous national resonance and Minister Giuseppe Romita commissioned the best investigators to the end this manhunt of the matter. On April 29th 1946, Rana was arrested by the police but then in May 7th 1946, Leccisi delivered the body of Mussolini to the Church of Sant'Angelo and May 17th 1946, sixteen members of the Democratic Fascist Party are arrested but then Leccisi managed to disappear in time. In May 30th 1946, at the Piazza Del Duomo in Milan, Leccisi forced some operators to write on the luminous signs to praise Mussolini along with the invitation to read "Lotta Fascista" and in July 22th 1946, three other members of the political party were arrested but later in July 31th 1946, Leccisi along with Antonio Perozzi who is also a member of the party was finally arrested after the Volante Rossa knows about his address. On August 12th 1946, the remains of Mussolini were recovered by the 
Italian government to be transported at the Capuchin convent of Cerro Maggiore near Legnano in which remained there until 1957 and the remains of corpse was moved to Predappio.
In December 9th 1946, during the last days of the Democratic Fascist Party after a year of existing Brunilde Tanzi who is a member of this political party managed to replace a record during advertising broadcasts with the Fascist anthem called Giovinezza on the entire Piazza Del Duomo and the remaining members disbanded the political party on December 27th 1946 for a unknown reason.
Domenico Leccisi who has been known as a young 
militant political figure in the circles of 
Italian Neo-Fascism joined the Italian Social Movement (MSI) 1946-1995 as a national deputy from 1953 to 1963, along with being part of the X Commission and he had continuous clashes with the majority currents of the party because of his support of Left-Wing Fascism. In 1958, Leccisi was with Giorgio Almirante & Palmiro Togliatti who is a 
Communist supported the so-called "Milazzo Operation" in Sicily at which made possible the alliance to the government of the Region between the MSI and the Italian Communist Party 1921-1991.
In 1963, the Italian Social Movement (MSI) declared Domenico Leccisi's membership lapsed while excluding him from the party along with the subsequent elections but he returned as municipal councilor in Milan and later he retired to his private life in which he declared himself against the transformation of the (MSI) into the National Alliance (AN) 1995-2009. Leccisi was also a Milan city councilor and wrote an autobiography book called "With Mussolini Before and After Piazzale Loreto".
In November 2nd 2008, Domenico Leccisi died at the age of 88 while being hospitalized at the Pio Albergo Trivulzio due to problems with his body.
Estonia 
On March 12, 1934 
Johan Laidoner, 
Konstantin Päts and 
August Rei launched a bloodless military coup against Päts' own gouvernment under the pretext of preventing a potential election of 
Andres Larka, a member of the 
quasi-Fascist Vaps movement for the position of state elder. A nationwide state of emergency was declared and purges against the Vaps movement and 
Communists were conducted. The following period is known in Estonia as the "Era of Silence", due to the suspension of 
civil liberties (notably the freedom of speech) during that time. The activities of all political parties got suspended, the Patriotic League of Estonia was formed as the only legal quasi-party, representing the views of the establishment. However Independent candidates were still allowed to run for office. In 1938, after a referendum, a new Constitution was adapted, most political prisoners were freed and restrictions were lifted, which is seen by most as the end of the Era of Silence.

Petitioning ( 信访, xìnfǎng, "letters and visits") is an administrative system for hearing complaints and grievances from individuals in the People's Republic of China which is meant to serve as an alternative form of democracy within a one-party state. The petitions can take many forms, including phone calls, faxes, visits or even e-mails to any government office with regard to any of the issues with the purpose of holding directly-elected local officials accountable for their actions. . Petitioners may begin their attempts for redress at the local level with letters and calls to offices, which are located in courthouses or in township-level government offices. If unsatisfied, they can move up the hierarchy to provincial-level offices and, at the highest level, the National Public Complaints and Proposals Administration in Beijing. Official statistics indicate that petition offices annually handled around 10 million inquiries and complaints from petitioners from 2003 to 2007.
However, this system is not without its flaws. Provincial capitals have been accused of hiring people in Beijing to abduct petitioners who have travelled from their areas and force them to go back home in a process known as "intercepting." Human rights organizations have accused Chinese authorities of arbitrarily imprisoning large numbers of petitioners in black jails or other illicit detention facilities. It's generally suspected that the Communist Party allows and encourages petitioning to identify and locate dissidents.
