Um--so Marxist-Leninism is not left wing. Violent overthrow of the capitalist oppressors is not left wing. Cults of personality are never characteristic of left-wing praxis.
The rule of the vanguard is not left wing. Opposition to free elections has never anywhere been a left-wing position. Censorship of opposing and unacceptable views has never been left wing praxis or precept..
Perhaps you need to consult the earlier studies of Authoritarianism which include left-wing authoritarianism, to clarify your stance.
Otherwise one runs the danger of being like the lobster-in-the-pot conservatives in the USA who find themselves thinking "It can happen here in our ranks, we are good people" while they are successfully being acclimated to accept being boiled alive.
