You can't get rid of authoritarianism the same way you can't get rid of stupid. Some portion of the population will always be the bottom of the bell curve.

What you can do, however, is redirect it into something positive. For example, Japanese social structures are pretty fuckin' authoritarian. Most people wouldn't even dream of littering.

    True, but you can get rid of hierarchical authority itself, leaving the authoritarians nothing to work with. Ask your local anarchist how.
