“Authoritarian” is connected to horseshoe theory which has holocaust trivialization history, please avoid using it

That was a stretch but do you mean that the theory of totalitarianism was used to conflate Nazi Germany and USSR, and to an extent, justify double genocide theory…?

That being said, I don’t see how it relates?

What would you say if I characterized the third reich as authoritarian? Would that make me a Holocaust trivializer?

Why would you call them authoritarian when you can just call them fascist?

It’s a square-rectangle situation in my view. All fascists are authoritarian bit not all authoritarians are fascist
