Quoting myself:

Normalize referring to all states as authoritarian regimes.

Regime is just a synonym for government, or administration, with a negative connotation. All governments are regimes.

As Marxists know, all states are dictatorships of one class upon another. All states hold a monopoly on the use of violence. All states are authoritarian.

France is an authoritarian regime. Germany is an authoritarian regime. The UK is an authoritarian regime. Belgium is an authoritarian regime. Italy is an authoritarian regime. The US is an authoritarian regime. Spain is an authoritarian regime. Portugal is an authoritarian regime. Luxembourg is an authoritarian regime. The Netherlands is an authoritarian regime. Austria is an authoritarian regime. Australia is an authoritarian regime. Denmark is an authoritarian regime. Sweden is an authoritarian regime. Finland is an authoritarian regime. Estonia is an authoritarian regime. Latvia is an authoritarian regime...
