Seems very much like indoctrination to get kids to “fall in line” and enforced conformity, to try to remove independent thinking. I’ve always hated the idea of that. What do you think about it?

There are valid arguments for and against, but I really don't think the word 'authoritarianism' is at all applicable here.

Definitely applicable.

Entire atmosphere feels a lot more weirder because everyone is forced to wear the same thing. Reminds me of when I was in China, where they forced little kids to wear the little red scarf, which symbolized communism.

In your example it can be. But if no nationalistic rationale is behind the uniforms that are worn than it’s not authoritarian.

So it can be but it’s not a given.
