Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it authoritarian or totalitarian? I agree with your examples, for what it's worth. In the religious examples it was a convenient little meshing of the interests of the religion with the interests of the state, especially when the Divine Right of Kings was in vogue. The Soviets didn't even bother with religion of course, they simply invoked the divine right of those who controlled the military.
the soviets abolished religion.....installed communissim as the religion and you were to "pray to the leader".....same as Nk and china actually....
