No, all authoritarians are basically the same kind of asshole, and Tankies are pure authoritarians.
And since the very first use of the terms left vs right, was a question of Authoritarianism vs Democracy, a question of unelected monarchy vs the power of the people.
Only later were economic terms added, because Marx envisioned a truly democratic economy.
And then Lenin betrayed the revolution, and then wrote about how betrayal of the revolution and establishment of a dictatorship was what Marx wanted.
Lenin had the actual communists who won the November 1917 election arrested as traitors.
If you are authoritarian, you are not of the left. Full stop.
