      Marx encouraged fascist dictatorships as a method to bring about the proletariat revolution.

      And this is why dictators love the, “give me just a little more power and once it’s secured I’ll hand it all back to the people, pinky swear” schtick.

      If you go by the origin of the division and their definitions, they certainly are right. Authoritarian gov means centralising power. People arguing for the Ancient Regime were also pushing better for the people rethoric.

      Besides, they are supporting a state that is closest to a nazi state. russia.
