Authoritarian is a meaningless word. Its just a scary-sounding descriptor that's used to frame a designated enemy state as especially heinous. All states are authoritarian.

Authoritarian is a meaningless word... All states are authoritarian.

Your analogy does not work. Not all states are genocidal and the term has an actual clear definition that makes it distuingushable from other mass-killings.
