Doesn't sound at all lefty to me...

It sounds very lefty.

The Socialist international espoused 1. militant international revolution, 2. communal organization, 3. establishment of social unions as the organizing principle of society, destroying "feudal" organizing principles of family and class (read the French Socialists on this point especially), 4. the arrogance of historicism and the inevitibility of Socialism, 5. the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, 6. the creation of personality cults around revolutionary leaders, 7. and the glorification of labor over the intellect, the intellect being bourgeois. The intellectual class were the first to find the firing squads and re-education camps.

The distinction between left- and right- socialism, and Fascism was socialism, is an empty one, IMO.
