    The whole point of government is to be authoritarian. That authority is what separates tax collectors from muggers. That authority is what allows for public good such as welfare programs and public bad such as a militarized police force that brutally defends the capitalist class and their capital. Under "liberal" capitalism, that authority is concentrated in the hands of the dictators that own the means of production.
