So you're saying that Soviet Russia doesn't fit the Wikipedia definition of leftism.

I don't see how that makes US university professors leftists. What definition of leftism are you using?

You’re the commie version of those annoying right wingers who like to start semantic arguments that the Nazis weren’t really right wing.

Leftism is an incoherent and false ideology fundamentally unsuited to the governance of human societies. Once you recognize that fact, the hypocrisy of actual leftists will cease to surprise you.
