If you define Left Wing as concentrating all political power in the hands of a narrow elite. The rest of the us have more egalitarian definitions of The Left.
Your view of reality isn't materialist. You can't explain why standards of life have been massively boosted in actually existing socialist countries and inequality rates have been the lowest recorded in history.
The only explanation possible in your view, would be that, for example, 5 different benevolent dictators have succeeded each other over 70 years in the USSR maintaining world class healthcare, education, access to housing, pensions and job security. But these things don't happen in countries with dictators such as Saudi Arabia or fascist Spain.
How is it possible that there are only "good dictators" in communist countries?
Man, politics must be so easy when you just make up lazy strawmen that aren't remotely accurate
