"Communism" is always going to be authoritarian if by "communism" you mean a government that attempts to control the whole of society. If by "communism" you mean a society where private property (not personal property) is democratically managed, that has nothing to do with authoritarism. Nor with the Soviet Union, or China, for that matter.
