Oh yes they do. Lenin, Mao Zedong and (to a much lesser extent) AOC and Bernie.
Just because the right easily attracts brainless sheep, that doesn’t mean the left can’t.
Some can, yes. Some subset of any large enough population can reasonably be assumed to behave irrationally. Similarly, some authoritarian might somehow start following a left winger.
Worship and submission to authority is, however, inherent to the supporting belief structure of the right. It’s how fascism works. The right, purely and simply, prefers to submit to authority. It’s why the evangelical, Orthodox, and other strict religious sects are always right leaning. They revel in the simplicity of it. They crave it and fantasize about it. They cherish the pain of those who have been blamed for their problems (because a scapegoat is much easier than thinking about it). They will keep it up until (and sometimes even through) the moment it eats their face. They’ll publicly deep throat that boot and beg daddy for the other one in gratitude for it also stomping on some scapegoat.

A lazy assumption. Take a look at union leaders.
Hippy flower power Buddhists are considered left leaning. You can’t tie religious belief to right/left either.
Yes, this is the authoritarian/nationalism part. Not the left/right or secular/religious part.
