Jesus, it was your word. If you didn't want to be pinned down to it, why apply it to yourself in the first place. Feel free to pick a better one, I'll wait.
My comment was more about how "authoritarian" discourse is meaningless, and more about perspective than anything else. From my point of view, the US Empire's use of authority is far worse and more destructive than, say, Cuba's, yet Capitalist media paints the US Empire as a bastion of freedom and Cuba as an Orwellian nightmare.
