Even if you believe that authoritarian left is an oxymoron, it's easier to label them as such, then to argue to everyone that they are right wing, while they cover themselves in the colors and symbols of the left.
It's really a question of when to use nuance and when to make strong statements with getting bogged down in semantics.
It's not a question of semantics. This discourse is used again and again to push people to not advocate for the common good, because god forbid they sometimes end up doing selfish things, so "might as well be a selfish prick with the other side".
