I would call anyone in that mindset not actually leftist, just right wing authoritarians with a red flag.

I mean they call themselves communist and espouse communist ideology though.

If you think these people "espouse communist ideology" then you need to be specific about exactly what ideology, and how that leads to support for Putin.
