Does the UK Hard-Left advocate Totalitarianism?
I am not sure if the phrase ‘hard left’ has any meaning these days: it is the ‘soft left’ nu-labor party which has introduced laws limiting freedom of speech. However, if one looks at groups life the SWP one can certainly say that were they to gain power totalitarianism would be the result. One can see this in the glee their members take about using the so-called ‘organised working class’ to physically intimidate their opponents. There is also the case that they are self professed admirers of Lenin. The history of Lenin’s Bolsheviks is well known and one can only assume that those who model themselves on them would, given the opportunity, follow the policy of violent suppression of all other political tendencies. If one likes it is possible to describe the SWP and its ilk as ‘social fascist’; they profess a progressive doctrine yet have allied themselves with Islamic purveyors of anti-semitism, homophobia and misogyny.
