That's nonsense, if you said liberal there would be at least some truth to it but leftist?
It's a word trying to describe the left of a political spectrum as an -ism, which is stupid. It'd be like saying liberals (who are on the right of the political spectrum for you Americans) are the same as fascists because their rightists.
Categorizing something doesn't mean all subcategories are the same. While you can argue that it's overgeneralizing that would be a different argument. Leftist is used outside of American Politics. I'm not American btw.
