authoritarians of any side deprecate liberal values (ie, individual liberty) & treat the individual as an expendable means to (rather than the nonexpendable ends of) their illiberal agenda

No offense but either you're making shit up or uou have no idea what you're talking about. Britain hasn't been an absolute monarchy since, like, the Magna Carta, and the thirteen colonies had elected state assemblies and broad self-government. It was Britain trying to violate that self-government that led to American independence. Please learn history before talking about it.
Again you have no idea what you're talking about. Tankies think (very wrongly) that a Marxist-Leninist vanguard state will eventually being about socialism and wither away. To them authoritarianism is a transitional stage, not a goal. I'm going to disengage because I doubt you're actually interested in learning anything, but what you're saying is straight up misinformation.
Bro doesn't believe in the colonial period, folks.
