Could you recommend some philosophers who defended authoritarianism/totalitarianism?

Your best best is to look for political philosophers who rejects democracy.

Plato's "Republic" rejects democracy in favour of an ideal way to run a country, where the kids are taken away from their parents and philosopher-kings rule.

Utilitarian thought (the greater good is what counts and nothing else) arguably rejects democracy, it without a doubt rejects democracy as anything else but a tool to achieve the greater good.

Communist thoughts are by virtue (if you want to read them as philosophical arguments instead of a theory of social progression) anti-democratic.

B.F.Skinner, a behavioural psychology, wrote a book called "Walden 2" based on the theory that human don't have a free will and can be conditioned to enjoy whatever best suit them, thus rendering democracy useless.

I can't think of any academic contemporary book that outright rejects democracy.

Well it sort of is in the US. Whether or not democracy is the best form of government isn't even a question for most people.

Representative democracy is still democracy. Those represented are just big businesses.
