Talk:Authoritarian socialism

I think the quote referring to 'Stalinist Soviet Union' and 'Maoist China' is biased as there is no reference provide for either state being undemocratic. A more neutral tone should be taken articulating that these states have been referred to as such, mentioning that these states referred to each themselves consistently as democratic for their own class.

This article is still heavily biased
This article is still heavily biased and uses very suspect sources. It is also very concerning to see a page editor referring to Mao Zedong as 'Zedong': Chinese names do not work like that, and it is inappropriate to use a personal name when talking about a political leader. I think that whoever wrote this article did not have neutrality in mind and lacked quite a bit of the requisite knowledge to meaningfully contribute. 58.172.104.2 (talk) 15:39, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Merging with state socialism
Isn't both Authoritarian Socialism and State Socialism implementations of socialist philosophies with the government holding the means of production? Every self described "Socialist State" (both current and former) have/had an authoritarian regime, almost all of them single-party. So isn't it correct to merge those articles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ogat (talk • contribs) 01:31, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Poor conceptualization
Lumping together Soviet, Arab, Venezuelan, Chinese "variants of socialism" under the banner of "authoritarian socialism" seems sloppy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.85.85 (talk) 21:50, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
