All that you list apart from François Spain were imperial countries… I’m going to assume your trolling.
Wait, so now you’re changing the criteria from “Countries which turned authoritarian without prodding from imperialism” to “Countries that were authoritarian without being imperialist”? How the fuck is that at all relevant, then, to the very imperialist Soviet Union?
How can a country that is imperial not be effected(prodded) by imperialism?
So you’re including self-prodding by imperialism. In that case, the fuck was your point about the Soviet Secret Police being necessary and justified because of imperialism? Are you just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks at this point?

This is turning into semantics. How can a country that is imperial not be effected(prodded) by imperialism?
I was making a point of the ridiculousness of your prior comment. Well done I guess.
