Not sure what you mean by "authoritarian," all governments are instruments of class oppression and socialist states oppress the bourgeoisie, but no socialist state has been imperialist before. Further, "state capitalism" refers to a system of heavily planned but ultimately dominated by private property, such as Singapore, South Korea, and Bismark's Germany, and as such I'm not sure what you're referencing here either.
