      I wouldn’t call that leftist, but more authoritarian.

      That said, do a subset of leftists have the weirdest obsession for defending it because they somehow view China as leftist? Yes.

        They’re not mutually exclusive. To give another example, Cuba is unquestionably leftist but it’s also a dictatorship.
