I don't know any other leftist who prefers a central government over a decentralized proletariat controlled system of rule. True communism is absent of state and includes a perpetual system where each person in the community has a say over what happens in the community, how the means of production are distributed and how public wealth is allocated. Basically a DAO.
So-called 'Communism' is just a sales pitch for extreme totalitarian centralization of control which is what them marketers are after. Not surprisingly, that's the way it always works out. Buyer beware.
