Authoritarian children result not only from patriarchal modeling but from the family’s failed protection.
Evidence
The Nazis’ undermining of the family, despite their propaganda to the contrary, was no accident. The authoritarian family did not produce authoritarian children solely because of what it did - provide a model for arbitrary domination - but equally for what it could not do —protect the individual against the claims made on his socialization by extra-familial agencies. Thus, although The Authoritarian Personality concentrated on the intra-familial origins of the “new anthropological type,” the implications of its analysis pointed outward to the society at large. — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 751
