You described authoritarianism right there. Any infringement on self ownership is authoritarian. The US constitution requires that the government is run by the people for the people. But that really annoys the left because they want to call all the shots for you and dictate who gets what, entitled rewards without merit.
I'm not sure what you mean by "self ownership" or why you think socialism does not support that. I assume you think "to each according to needs" means the government would determine what your needs are (and are not). That part is true, but whether or not that's "authoritarian" depends on the type of government. If the government were a democracy, then everyone would vote on what your needs were . If the government was a representative democracy, then the elected representatives would together determine on what your needs were, or the elected officials in your area would determine that. If the government were an authoritarian type, like a monarchy, then the monarch or his appointed representatives would determine that.
That's exactly how it is done today in the USA (my home country), which is, for the most part, a representative democratic republic.
No details in the report.
Recently the Thai Government was alerted by a foreign security agency of an impending terrorist attack in Thailand and to raise alert levels.
Also, one photo in the report shows a guy using a known hand gesture with index fingers pointing to the sky and other fingers folded.
Perhaps related, perhaps not.
