I see the common mistake of associating the left with authoritarianism.

China and such are not left. They're even further right to the point of fascism labeled communism.

Remebere communism/socialism is about the workers relation to the means of production. Chinese people do not own the factories they work on, so I'm not sure you can call them left.
