Left wing systems are supposed to be the opposite of the authoritarian systems of the right. But you are giving examples of fascist dictators who have used left wing systems as methods of social control. Does anybody in their right mind genuinely think Stalin was on the left? He was on the side of whatever gave him absolute power and it's as simple as that.
If you had put Hitler in charge of Russia, and Stalin in charge of Germany, then I wager exactly the same things would have happened.
