Explanation:
Socialism can be defined as an economic, social and political theory which asserts that the method of exchange, distribution, as well as the means of production of goods and services and ownership of properties should be controlled or regulated by the public (government) rather than the private sector. Thus, everyone living in the society has an equal share of the means of production used in producing the goods and services. Some examples of socialist countries are Vietnam, Cuba, China,
An authoritarian government is also known as dictatorship and it can be defined as a type of government in which an individual who is a sole administrator is responsible for controlling, managing and directing the affairs of the particular country. Therefore, they do not listen to anyone else but rather are saddled with the decision-making responsibilities without consulting any other government official.
Generally, it is characterized by a single leader (dictator) having absolute power and as such he or she makes all the rules, policies and decisions without consulting or taking suggestions from anyone else. Some examples of authoritarian government around the world are the government of Idi Amin of Uganda, Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany, Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union etc.
