So this study’s definition of “extreme left” is “extreme right?” There is no such thing as “authoritarian left” as they are opposites by definition. Distributed authority is leftist, consolidated authority is rightist. There’s a reason we have a pejorative for left-cosplaying rightists.
There was a post on one of the science or science memes communities recently with a (badly done) study about how the world can support billions more people if only [long list of impossible things here].
Many of the commenters there were talking about how if we could just organise into far left anarchist militias, and violently overthrow all the governments to impose authoritarian rules on everyone like banning cars and animal agriculture, we could really have 10 billion people living in a perfect communist utopia on earth.
It was very amusing reading. /s
(For the record, I'm not opposing veganism or cars being bad. It was all the defending of bad science and talk of anarchist authoritarian regimes, which was so darkly funny to me.)
Distributed authority would be anarchist or more broadly libertarian. You can have nominally left leaning authoritarians. The problem is, for all authoritarians left or right. Their authority is their priority. Economic leanings to them are a matter of convenience.
Whereas with more libertarian structures. The more libertarian you go, the more economically left leaning you tend to be out of necessity.
Depending on the definitions you use, anarchism and leftism are synonyms. Libertarianism, also depending on definition, is a subset of leftism.
Authoritarianism is always rightist, regardless of how “benevolent” it paints itself. Benevolent rightism isn’t leftist, it’s still rightist.
There is/was definitely an authoritarian left.

If you read your own link you find that what is being described is still rightist. A nationalized economic policy does not make an authoritarian government leftist. If a ruling class, be it dictator or oligarchy, controls the economy then it does not belong to the people and is not leftist. It is feudalism wearing different pants.
You can believe what you like. But you know what other people mean when they refer to "authoritarian left" and to pretend otherwise is just counterproductive. Good day, sir.
The term “authoritarian left” is dangerous cold war era misinformation and capitalist propaganda. It’s important to correct this doublespeak every time it happens.
