we know there are bad actors on both sides.

I'm not talking about "bad actors." I'm talking about the control structures, their origins, their designs, the media that each side puts out, etc. They are both the design of the system; The Matrix.

one side is authoritarian by definition.

That may be the case in 2021, but for the other 5000 years or so of "left/right" history, this statement doesn't match reality. In fact it has flipped back and forth, applying totalitarianism to both the left and the right numerous times in history.

The standard definition of left/right is a "left" wants change, "right" wants to stay the same. That is where "liberal" and "conservative" come from.

There is another axis to these political definitions (as in, how they are defined, not "your idea" of them). That axis is the Libertarian/Totalitarian axis. Putting those axes together you get Fascism as the "conservative" totalitarianism, and Communism as the "liberal" totalitarianism. That is their definitions.

As an example of what this dual axis political spectrum might look like, look at this picture.

As that picture shows, fascism/communism are two sides of the same "socialism" coin. They even have the same origins. In one case applying economic Marxism to a "conservative ideology" and in the other case applying that economy to a "liberal ideology". Both arriving at the same conclusion starting from the left or the right.

If you want to make shit up, you can do that all day long, but that is how these things are defined. The truth is though, they are all contrivances of control.

left and right are not a fraud.

Do more investigation and you will find that they are used to control the world, and have been for millennia, both the design of the PTB.
