Then they let the authoritarians and dictators who claim to be socialists grow so they could point at it and say "See? Socialism bad!".

No, they don't. They label the ones that successfully survive as dictators so they can point and say socialism bad, but that's not accurate.

The only fake socialist that comes to my mind who received unlimited financial and diplomatic support from the US is Pol Pot. (That too was done to suppress the Communists in Vietnam.)
