I see. Well, you would be talking about Stalinism (or Hoxhaism) then, which from the Marxist perspective, is actually very far to the right (even if it is still leftist on the traditional political scale). The radical left has its own political scale independent of the regular political scale, with Anarchists occupying the very far left; Stalinists to the farthest right and everything else in between somewhere. For most of us, being on the far right of this scale kind of defeats the purpose of being a radical Leftist to begin with, since it just leads to more of the same crap that we are trying to get rid of, or worse. I myself don't identify or label myself with any specific tendency but most would probably see my politics as closest to Left Communism - which is almost as close to the farthest left on the scale, stopping just a bit short of Anarchism. Rosa Luxemburg and Antonio Gramsci probably have the most influence on my views, besides Marx/Engels.
Either way, a Fascist, Stalinist, or Christian Theocracy are all a most undesirable set of circumstances for any person who values democracy. Capitalism is also, though concedingly less so than the others.
