We do not get to vote on how other societies organise themselves.
And on what basis do you even judge that some other culture is repressed and authoritarian? Just because you would feel oppressed under these laws?
There are many different cultures out there with vastly different social rules and moral codes and the people living there mostly agree with those rules. Who can judge what set of rules is right?
I just know which social order is the right one for me but never which one is universally good. If I attempted to introduce the type of social order and free speech that I prefer in the middle east, there'd be plenty of people there that would try to kill me for that. And the same is also true the other way around.
