The Khmer Rouge were as hard left as it gets, and the Cambodian genocide was almost entirely fuelled by the notion that educated city folk weren’t true Khmer.
It’s no coincidence that Russia is hard right, and so are its stooges in Europe and the US. Maybe theoretically they might support some left authoritarians too, but they don’t right now to any significant extent.
