What do you count as "Authoritatianism?"

Why do you think Communism requires people to care about others to function, and why would they not work otherwise?

I think you have some serious misunderstandings about what Communism entails.

Authoritarianism is the opposite of libertarianism, roughly speaking. It’s a sliding scale, but those would be the two opposites in play.

For example, a more authoritarian approach to road safety would be: “Manufacturers are not allowed to make cars that go over 50 mph”

A more libertarian approach to road safety would be: “We’re publishing the average fatality rate of this road. You can choose to engage with it as you deem appropriate”

Our actual approach with licenses and speed limits and some regulations on car safety and soft but escalating consequences for breaking the road rules is somewhere in between.

So it's vibes-based and not actually tied to anything material.
