I'm a Western leftist, and neither of these positions represent me. I do know people who are represented by one or the other, but I don't know anyone who is both. Are you sure you're not just conflating the loudest voices as being from the same people?

Support them? Like how, with money? Votes? Attending rallies? Because no, I don't actively support any of those countries. I do think each country has the sovereign right of self-determination, and I oppose my country's efforts to overthrow or undermine those governments.

I also oppose authoritarian dictatorships like the DPRK and the Trump administration.

As far as Luigi is concerned, I do not condone murder, but I also don't think he's guilty of murder. I think the oligarchy needed to find the killer, even if they didn't find the actual killer, and planted all the evidence against Luigi.

It might be my biased sample from the people I interact with IRL (I live in Spain) and on the internet, but out of all self-declared leftists and progressives, a vast majority support Luigi and use slogans like "eat the rich" while repelling any repression from Actually Existing Socialist states.
