In this context (which is distinctly distinct from, for instance, US national politics), looking at the issue as those involved see it, and certainly as the Puppies themselves would define it, he's absolutely on the left wing.

Not in a radical or extreme way, but that's where he is.

Oh, I'm sure the Puppies view him as practically being a socialist, but it's still important to note that how they view him doesn't necessarily match with reality. Not to mention that there's a significant difference between saying "Scalzi is left-wing" and "the Puppies view Scalzi as left-wing". In the former, it sounds like it's coming from the anon commenting, and not the anon's explanation for how Scalzi is viewed by others.

That's fair. But I think there's also a sense in which he is actually left-wing: in the specific context of science fiction fandom. That's the point that I really want to get across here. Science fiction fandom has its own political dynamics, and in that context, he's left wing, even if he's not in a broader political sense.

So, politically, he's maybe centrist or whatever, although viewed by the Puppies as a cultural Marxist or something I'm sure. But, fandom-wise, he's in the center-left part of fandom.
