I take it you've never met a rich asshole, then?

the only clearly defined factor of left is the believe that every person is borned equal

This is a very controversial statement. The left is usually understood as referring to Socialism, and Individual rights are generally considered a liberal value.

The founding idea of Socialism is common, rather than private ownership. China has a very high degree of public ownership of companies, exercises a lot of control over private enterprises, and has limited private land rights. This is consistent with a Socialist approach. Restricting private ownership of land in particular is as of my knowledge unheard of under right wing governance.

China is very authoritarian and in many ways a poor model for Socialism, but it's way too convenient to simply write them off as secretly-right-wing revisionists

China is ruled by a communist party and position themselves as allies to left-wing governments around the world. They are clearly and explicitly left-wing.

Russia isn't left-wing, but they use they are acting like fascist and committing genocide-adjacent acts in the name of anti-genocidal anti-fascism, the rhetoric that the original commenter parodied

People being on benefits maybe.

I've had occasion in my life to spend some time around people who are on benefits because of mental health and drug abuse, and some of those persons were a nightmare to deal with, and absolutely affected my life negatively. Many conditions that put people on benefits also make them very unpleasant to be around. The key is to understand that they would still be difficult to deal with if they weren't on benefits, and desperation would only make them more of a nuisance.

Norwegian dock workers refuse to help Tesla bypass Swedish strikers, so not completely alone

We do our best to limit damage under the assumption that nearly everyone should be allowed a licence and a car, that's not the same. A small share of drivers are responsible for the majority of fatalities, and while some of these drivers are obscure until they kill someone, many have offenses, lose their licences but are allowed back on the roads because we see the right to drive a car as sacred

What do you dispute? That China and Russia act this way or that there are people on the left who defend them?

China is notionally both and what they're doing in Xinjang is at least genocide adjacent. Russia justifies their war on Ukraine as a struggle against genocidal fascists and again, it really seems like they want to destroy Ukraine as a separate culture and people by assimilation and extermination.

Both countries are frequently defended by left wingers

Equal disregard for civilian life on both sides

I disagree. Equal disregard for Palestinian civilians maybe. The Israelis care deeply about their own and would never employ the tactics Hamas do.

Still more dangerous for the IDF and less vengeance-effective than just raining death on thousands of civilians on the off-chance that you might also kill a handful of terrorists that Hamas can easily replace.

Do you feel your description matches the reality of this Palestinian dentist? Are the described actions consistent with callously raining death on thousands of civilians?

In a US style first past the post system the Nazis would have made a clean sweep in July 1932, and wouldn't have had to intimidate anybody
