    a well-intentioned authoritarian

    Thats not at all what communists are talking about when they say “dictatorship of the proletariat”; we mean a state where the working class has total control as opposed to the capitalist class. Cuba is more democratic than any western country; its actions are the result of the will of the people as evidenced by its constitutional referendums passing with overwhelming support or the governments actions always favor the working class as opposed to the capitalists.

    If anyone doubts this, ask people living in AES states about democracy some time. There’s plenty of Chinese on Rednote, traveling to Vietnam, Cuba, or Laos is a taller order, but it will show you infinitely more than you can learn within the western propaganda bubble.
