The US's bourgeois "democracy", genocided an entire continent, and committed countless atrocities across the globe.
The "authoritarian" label never gets levelled at the US, great britain, france, or other imperialist powers who carved up the global south and bled it for hundreds of years. It only gets used against their enemies, who dared rise up and fought back against colonialism.
Even fascism is far less effective than bourgeois parliamentarism at killing millions of innocent people. The nazi's failed to accomplish in eastern europe, what the US successfully carried out and its liberal democracy is still carrying out in north america.
10 million people die every year because it is not profitable to feed them or give them medicine. Capitalist wealth comes from the blood and sweat of everyone else.
