Do we? A lot of people think it's when one guy controls everything. In reality, autocracies have hella internal dynamics and quite often exercise less control than a democracy would over a given thing as a result. There's also people that think having to take simple measures to avoid spreading plagues is authoritarian, and people who think entirely removing due process isn't.
To actually answer: It depends on context, because it's not really an ideology in itself. It can mean opposing existing autocracies, or it can mean opposing more mechanisms of control, perhaps in the fear it will eventually lead to an autocracy. Sometimes it just means that the person wants to not have to do anything.
