China, Russia, North Korea

Conveniently all enemies of the US State Department. Don't those tankies know that these countries are bad because checks notes they do the authoritarianisms.

Countries that do authitarianism become bad, yes. That's exactly how it works, glad you're getting it.

On some level when you're doing sophistry like this do you understand you're acting real stupid?

Yes, seriously. Liberals love vaguely coded moralisms and ideals, but they never specify what they mean systematically. America is more "authoritarian" by any definition I can conceive due to its hundreds year history of slavery, imperialist war and mass incarceration than any other country on earth
