There is actually technically no such thing as an authoritarian leftist
AES would suggest otherwise
But then “authoritarian” is just code for “people in charge who I don’t like”. It’s how you get liberals who gleefully repost “Trump is a Nazi” but recoil at “Abolish ICE” or “Boycott Israel”.
Communists are authoritarian when they gain power because capitalists hate them. Capitalists are libertarians when they’re in charge because they pad each other’s wallets
