I am also confused. Specifically about “there’s no such thing”. Is the meme saying (among other things) that authoritarianism doesn’t exist or isn’t real? That seems obviously untrue on the face of it? Unless we’re redefining it so as to be meaningless.
A State is supposed to exercise authority, so by saying X country (enemy of the Usonian Empire) is authoritarian you’re basically saying “There is a State”. Basically doublespeak Usonian propaganda.
A state necessarily exercising authority changes nothing about how violently and uncompromisingly any particular state goes about it. So I’m guessing calling a state plainly authoritarian is essentially saying nothing at all, but if I say your country is as authoritarian as North Korea, you know exactly what I’m saying and that I’m certainly saying something that is neither doublespeak or propaganda, right?
“Authoritarian” is ALL states. “Authoritarian” as we know it today was just made up by the CIA to slander actually existing socialism states like China and the DPRK
