So communism so hard it swings back around into fascism, yeah, I suppose that would be "far-left". This may be my own limited experience talking though but I don't think that's a popular world view? Especially not in the US from what I can tell. I know there's a lot of talk of "tankies" on Lemmy (still not 100% sure I understand what a tanky is), but I have yet to actually have a conversation with a legitimate one IRL or online. Far-right extremists on the other hand you can run into multiple times a day, so I know which side I have more concerns about.
The USA skews fairly right overall so you don't really see a lot of them here. It's a lot easier to find them in other countries.
I've definitely ran into a few people IRL who have gone far enough down the rabbit hole that I've heard them trot out the classic stuff about how "Stalin/Mao/Fidel/etc. was good actually"
