There is no definition of “authoritarian” as “authority” in common English language, you’re trying to redefine words. The word you mean is “authority figure” or “authoritative”.
Having authority over most of the subjects means being an authoritarian figure amongst those subjects. How much of an authoritarian a leader is, is another question. When I said “authority versus people”, again, I quite clearly meant voices of people versus voices of prime ministers and presidents who probably have different dealings going on.
The word “figure” plays a rather important role, as I never said “authoritarians”.
