During the Cold War, it was often said that dictatorships we liked (e.g., Franco's Spain, Rhodesia, South Africa) were "authoritarian," while dictatorships we didn't like (e.g., Castro's Cuba, the Soviet Union, Red China) were "totalitarian" - or as Patrick Buchanan called the latter, "brutalitarian."
"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
