Capitalists would like you to believe that liberalism is the left-most edge of the economic spectrum, precisely because it is the left-most point on the spectrum that doesn’t threaten their power.
True leftism threatens the power of capitalists. Liberalism is not leftism.

    So, we’re all agreed then that tankies aren’t leftist, right? Because the claimed “communist” countries, such as Russia and China, are extremely capitalist in the worst possible ways.

      Agreed. Leftists must not abide the consolidation or entrenchment of power & power (the two are the same).

      Tankies justify this, and are therefore garden variety right wing authoritarians.
