The political left has an urgent and rising problem with authoritarianism. An alarmingly high percentage of self-identified progressives are punitive, bullying, and intolerant of disagreement â" and the problem is getting worse.

Using his own cutting-edge research, leading psychologist Luke Conway shows that itâs not just right-wing extremists who long for an authority figure to crush their enemies, silence opponents and restore order; itâ s also those who preach âbe kindâ and celebrate their âinclusivity.â A persistent proportion of left-wingers demonstrate authoritarian tendencies, and theyâre becoming more emboldened as they gain cultural and political power. On a range of scientific and social issues, they are increasingly advocating censorship over free debate, disregarding the rule of law, and dehumanising their opponents. These tendencies are part of an accelerating âthreat circleâ of mutual hatred and fear between left and right that could tear apart our basic democratic norms.

Concluding with an eloquent call for firm but rational resistance to this rising tide of liberal bullying, Conway presents a way forward for our hyper-partisan era.

Industry Reviews

'

'It will be a source of amusement to future historians that prominent early 21st century psychologists denied the left could be as rigid and sanctimonious as the right. As Liberal Bullies shows, Luke Conway has played a key scientific role in bringing political psychology back to political reality' Philip Tetlock, author of Superforecasting?
