I was wondering that myself. Do we see this from both the New Left and the religious community? It could be that the religious community in the UK (where the author lives) piggybacks more on the New Left than in other countries. Or I’m just out of touch with these people. That’s certainly also a possibility.
Yes. The simplistic belief that the world is divided between Good people who want the best for everyone and Bad people who hate for the sake of hating is found in most authoritarian systems. It doesn’t discriminate between “sides” of a complex political/religious system.
