However, because of the word "authoritarian" and because the word "Communism" is both capitalized and in quotes, it's not really quite as clear what it means. Personally, I would argue that it's effectively meaningless, and that what it means is up to the individual comrade. In a literal sense, what it means is we are opposed to states ruled by authoritarian, capital-C Communist Party's that we consider to be fake communists. So, literally, East Germany would not fall under this logic, because it was lead by the Socialist Unity Party. English grammar doesn't seem to be our Party's strong suit.
