As always, thanks so much for the response, and as always, sorry for my late reaction @mitch94541... I have to disagree though with the whole "Hitler was a socialist" of some sorts; he wasn't, not even remotely. Before he started murdering any other groups, he first killed all the socialists and communists; he hated them even more than he hated the Jews. Also, he presided over the kind of crony capitalism we now call "socialism for the rich".. So, no, not every authoritarian is automatically a socialist or communist, not even Stalin or Mao.
