I mean, it really depends on the qualities that you utilize to define "leftism". The real delineation between the two is their organizational hierarchy and tolerance of authority. Not exactly sure how that is used to determine who's more of a leftist.

organizational hierarchy and tolerance of authority

Yeah, the communist dictatorships where the government controlled everything and dictated all of everybody's environment down from the national level are pretty light on organizational hierarchy and authoritarianism.

Again the level of authoritarianism isn't definitional in a lot of interpretations of left vs right.

A lot of people claim it to be purely economic, socialism vs capitalism. In this interpretation there are authoritarian and libertarian leaning people on both the right and left.

You will find out that on purely economic terms, the communist countries are remarkably similar to the classical Fascist propositions. They were mostly just forward with the same changes, possibly because the Fascists were killed after WWII and didn't have a lot of time to continue on the changes they started.

(But yes, maybe the Fascists would stop before reaching the same level, we can't know that.)
