Is it possible for a centralist (for want of a better description - an ideology covering the centre of the political spectrum) ideology to be the driving force behind a totalitarian dictatorship or other highly authoritarian governmental system?
What would be the necessary pre-conditions for the development of such an ideology and where (if at all) would it be most likely to arise?
