Why would the Commissar of Military and Naval affairs under Lenin, who was instrumental in founding the red army and oversaw the purging of Mahknovists and other anarchist elements in the early USSR be less authoritarian than Stalin?

OK, that's as good an answer as any.

Salvador Allende got couped three years after his election. Are there any ways you can think to prevent a foreign power from undermining future hypothetical socialist governments that wouldn't be authoritarian?

The fact that you think Trotsky would've been less authoritarian than Stalin betrays that you don't know shit about him yourself.

Not a socialist, but I am genuinely curious.

Is there any socialist revolution that you wouldn't class a fascist?

It was originally wifman and over time mutated to women, the I sound is vestigial of the old spelling.
