The modern definition of leftism is socialism and co. And socialism is inherently authoritarian.
Socialism is inherently authoritarian? The ideology where power, ownership of production, and wealth is decentralized, removed from the oligarchs and capitalist elite and given back to those who generate it? That's authoritarian?
I think you, like many who have been subjected to decades of propaganda have equated "socialism" with the failed states that are "communist" in name only, where power and production was centralized to be redistributed to the people, but never followed through with the decentralized part. They're certainly authoritarian, but they are not socialist.
Also communism is a specific form of socialism. Socialism is not necessarily communism. Like how all dogs are mammals, but not all mammals are dogs.

Giving the people the power of the economy is authoritarian. That makes sense.
Where is a socialist country run by people instead of a political elite class?
That's called capitalism.
Ah, you have a brain parasite, I see...
is that a joke or is that a serious claim?
Wut?
Do you really believe capitalism gives economical power to the people? And if yes, do you say "people" as "everyone" or "people" as "some people based on some criteria"?
There's no need to believe in facts.
You are not answering my question, Is the fact that it gives economical power to the majority of people or just a certain category of people?
What are you talking about?
I asked you a question just before
