I think you completely misunderstood authoritarianism. It says right in the name that it's about authority. Authority comes through a governing body and laws. Corporations are not authorities. However libertarianism can lead to authoritarianism when corporations become powerful enough to replace or usurp any other authority. We're not at that dystopian point yet even though it might feel that way sometimes.

I would disagree with this. Corporations are a sort of authority and the small l libertarians of the US are more authoritarian than they think.

Corporations do not possess the kind of authority that is used to define authoritarianism.

US libertarians or the people who call themselves that are a different breed, it doesn't really matter what those authoritarians want to call themselves. I mean they're also calling themselves patriots and we know that isn't true.

Just like how US liberal democrats are barely centrists instead of the leftists they pretend to be or others call them.
