Fair enough about USSR and China vs Communism, that was a poor example. The point, though, is that social decency doesn’t inherently pick sides. Left leaning ideology tends to favour socially progressive viewpoints, because if the goal is to create an equitable society in one form or another, human rights and other social progress tend to also be be values that are important to people with a left-leaning ideology. Some aspects may be more intertwined than others, but the statement that being opposed to genocide is somehow a left wing only viewpoint is absurd. Most people with a left-of-centre viewpoint likely view genocide as bad, but is in no way a viewpoint exclusive held by people left-of-centre. People can be right-of-centre and compassionate, and view genocide as bad, and not be racist. People can hold a variety of different viewpoints, even conflicting viewpoints, at the same time. But being opposed to genocide or harming people is, or at least should be, just be basics of being a decent human and has nothing really to do with political ideology. Perhaps it’s ‘left’ in the context of neoliberalism being the only option and US politics and their severe polarisation as the reference. But in general, it’s not really an inherently ‘left’ viewpoint.

In Canada, many people would consider the Liberals to be right-of-centre, even more so with Carney as PM, and the NDP to be left-of-centre, but yet both can be opposed to genocide. Many Conservatives voters are, also, opposed to genocide despite leaning right in many ways. Being anti-genocide is not, however, a viewpoint commonly held by fascists through history and the present time. But that’s generally viewed as extreme right, and in no way centrist or just right-of-centre.
