I think the word you need is "statism" -- the belief that strong central power is the best. It is shared by e.g. communists and fascists.

Thanks, I know the word, but 99+% people in my country still insist on using "left-wing". Including the "left-wing" politicians.

Attaching labels is already a part of the political battle.

They are not wrong :-) The left wing tends to more statist than the right wing.
