Anarchism isn’t the only way to be a leftist.

There sure is, including “vanguardism” which was what many conflate with totalitarianism because of how the Cold War shook out. Really, it was the success of anti-Communist propaganda in the Red Scares that has colored so much of our assumptions and talking points as well as the unbridled might of the American military to suppress and punish any nation that tried something other than subservience.

In what way would you classify the Chinese or Russian governments that these tankies support “communist?” That’s like believing that Nazis were a socialist party simply because that word is in the name.
