The point here is that there exists a world outside the USA. In Europe, both far right and far left parties have taken money from Russia, and oppose helping Ukraine (especially militarily).
So your "argument" against itn being a just a narrative is linking the narrative again.
No... although that text tells the lie you want to believe, the German AfD (proven connections to Russia, proven financing through dubious source leading back to Russia, openly parroting Kremlin narratives, sending members to Russia or to the occupied areas in Ukraine to push Russian propaganda) for example is not the same as Germany's Die Linke (not even the quarter size (party and voters), completely transparent financing, so fragmented and at odds with each other that they can barely agree on an anything with a majority (the actual reason they barely get enough votes to stay relevant)).
"The right is paid by Russia so the left also is, because it has to be this way as I only have two arguments in total and 'both sides' is one of them" might work in your head, but not in reality when one side has very transparent financing and doesn't get money from Russia and the other side is the right-wing.
