"leftist" is not a synonym for "radical" or "Communist". "leftist" covers the entire spectrum of liberal-ultraliberal-radical. You are not going to get people to become Communists/Stalinists by redefining words no matter how hard you try. Lenin and Stalin's biggest victims were the other leftwing socialist political parties, not the rightwing capitalists.
You do realize the meanings of words are easily found in the dictionary right?
