'Spooky leftists are always talking about a "dictatorship!", of the "proletariat(?)",

I don't know what that second word means, but DICTATOR, DIC - TATOR, Dick, and Tators, dick and balls, cock and ball torture "dictatorship", of the PROLETARIAT?! 😱'

• you, and other misinformed people talking out of their ass.

All states are instruments by which one class asserts its power over the others, this is true. However, if you stop your analysis there, you confuse capitalist states where the capitalists dominate the state with socialist states where the working classes are in charge of the state. Equating the two based on the presense of the state alone, and ignoring its class character, is a massive error. Where capitalism brings ruin and misery to the working classes, socialism brings liberation.

Can you even define that word? Because i only see it used as a thought terminating cliche that just means "government i don't agree with". Can you name a single non-"authoritarian" government?

Authority exercised by the proletariat through a DotP is qualitatively different than authority exercised by capital through a DoC.
