Modern politics is dominated by the the left, worse it is dominated by the hardcore authoritarian left.
I'm an old bloke these days, not politically active at all. In the 70s and early 80s I was quite involved in 'street level' activism, as a 'socialist' obviously, quite involved with the ANL through my music business connections. Facing down the BNP in Southall in 79 and again in 81 at the siege of Hambrough Tavern. Brixton in the early and mid 80s.
It was simple in those days, clear cut racism that any thinking person could and did oppose, Socialist worker and other hard left groups were outliers, most of the demonstrators were fairly normal people.
Now I see the left dominated by hard core marxists, intersectionality is all they have, it dominates everything.
Disagree with the approved line and you are shouted down, no platformed, 'cancelled' whatever. Nasty.
