Where is this happening? I wonder what exactly you define as socialism/communism. I think you lump general authoritarianism with communism but sometimes you also chuck liberals in there when liberalism is the opposite of it. You can't be a liberal communist, it makes no sense.
Look at Russia these days. They're not really advocating socialism anymore but they are still very authoritarian and feed into the alternative right-wing that exists in the West, not because it's right-wing, but because they're against the liberal Western establishment. It's certainly not as simple as left/right anymore and the extremes of either side seem to have more in common.
