Authoritarianism is not inherent in either socialist or communist ideologies, and it's a result of the need to organize a militant organization to overthrow an existing regime as well as to be able to hold power afterwards. I very much recommend reading that book if you'd like to know more about the rise of Trump because there are many parallels with the rise of fascists in both Germany and Italy in the 30s.
