Communism is not designed nor intended to accumulate power to either a small group of people or a dictator of that's what you mean by authoritarian. Communism establishes that the common people hold the power over the elite/rich because otherwise, the rich and elite will use their money and therefore power to erode any gains the people make.
What do you mean by authoritarian?
Engels On Authority
That being said, private property is also authoritarian and requires a wall of guys with guns between piles of food and shelter and starving people looking for housing.
Every implementation started with the centralisation of power. And never transitioned outside of it no matter how hard you quote lenin.
It always ends with red fascism, get it through your thick skulls.
