People who love and defend a government are creating parental figures out of the state instead of growing up and taking their stand as mature individuals.

I think the title, opening sentence and paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 & 8 all show that she's talking mostly about love in the sense of support and identify with.

Only paragraph 4 talks about the impossiblity of a personal connection with a nation and the next paragraph makes it clear that it's a side point.

It's an imprecise and out-of-place side point that I don't agree with, but it's not proof of her secret support of authoritarianism.
