I need some evidence to believe that authoritarian nations kill and surpress anarchists less than others.

Also none of those nations offer socialism any more than anyone else.

You’re an Anarchist, all nations should be authoritarian if you were consistent with your views. If you legitimately believe Socialism to be more authoritarian than Capitalism you’re LARPing as an Anarchist.

Citation needed.

I’m guessing you aren’t an anarchist because that’s mostly about unjust hierarchies, not conflating the word authoritarian.

Socialism and capitalism is about who controls the means of production. In authoritarian countries that would usually be the state or ruling party making it no better than the bourgeoisie of a capitalist country and in socialist ones it would be the workers. I know of no country where the workers control the means of production. Workers having democratic control over the means of production is absolutely essential for socialism.

I’m a Communist that works with and speaks with Anarchists.

Then you need to study up on AES countries, as there have been and continue to be Socialist countries, despite them not being Anarchist.

A state largely governed by a Communist Party that practices strong central planning and works against bourgeois control is Socialist. As an example, the USSR, where there were large implementations of democratization:

And large reductions in wealth disparity:

Despite overall GDP growth:
