China and the DPRK are still Socialist, though different forms. China has a Socialist Market Economy, the DPRK is closer to the Soviet model. Russia is no longer Socialist, that is correct, but is occasionally seen as a temporary ally as they seek to destabilize US Hegemony, a goal they seek for profit and Leftists seek so that Socialism has a better chance worldwide.

If you define leftism as a pure economy model, then you could call right-wing authoritarian countries with state-controlled economies "socialist" which makes no sense.

I don't know what you mean by a "pure economy model" or how a fully publicly owned economy would be right wing, unless it's a different form of ownership like Monarchism.
