You're going personal. If you don't believe that racist nationalism and authoritarianism is distinctly right-wing, that's a fair statement of opinion. However, leftists typically favor equality, worker solidarity, and democracy within a system of checks and balances that tends to reduce authoritarianism and dictatorship. This isn't a denial that many leftists have gained power and threw equality, solidarity, democracy, and checks & balances out the window. But those who do betray the platform on which they claim to stand.

Venezuela is both racist nationalists and authoritarian and it is left wing.
Pol Pot was a racist nationalist and authoritarian and left wing.
Mao was a racist nationalist and authoritarian and left wing.
I could go on and on...
