Paternal Autocracy

Paternal Autocracy is an ideology of varied proportions. The main focus of Paternal Autocracy is a centralised and authoritarian form of government, whether that be through military control (with potential examples being MacArthur and Röhm), a single dictator without a key ideology or a monarch (such as Victor Emmanuel III if Mussolini is couped). One of the main proponents of Paternal Autocracy is the German Free State, governed by the Three Generals of Hindenburg, Lettow-Vorbeck and Ludendorff, with Lettow-Vorbeck specifically advocating for monarchism and the return of the Kaiser.

It is an obscure ideology as many would refer to it being a right-wing form of government, but in reality Paternal Autocracy has no central place on the spectrum, with some dictators holding left-wing ideals, such as governments in South America.
