Authoritarian nations I can name off the top of my head tend to be near the top of that "chart"; I certainly don't think Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, Maoist China or Trump's America are "okay", especially not just because of the leader's skin color or ancestry.

All governments are authoritarian. Its a meaningless term. Its usually thrown at any state opposing the US as part of the xenophobic rhetoric used in western propoganda toward its enemies.

Lumping nazis and other fascists in with communists is a technique used to smear socialism and make nazis look less bad. Its nazi apologia
