I think that authoritarian is a basically meaningless term when applied to a states.

All states are in the business of using lethal violence, or the threat of it at least, to enforce their rule within their borders.

Okay so if being "authoritarian" is bad and means you shouldn't be supported, and Sankara ran a state, making him authoritarian, by a definition you're now agreeing with (again, anyone who runs a state) why are you pretending you don't think he's an authoritarian and trying to use him as a cudgel against people who actually share an ideology with him?
