Isn't that pretty much exactly what a "Tankie" is? An authoritarian communist? One that believes the revolution can only occur through state violence?

I think it should be updated, as Russia and China are not communist and those people love them.

I feel like the "communism" was used, because "authoritarianism" sounds worse.
