There are enough tankies and left wing TERs (sometimes but not always the same people) in the UK to make me question that part. Then there are groups like the National Bolsheviks in Russia, who believe in social welfare and control of the means of production for them, but not anyone else.
I saw how the alt-right rose, and I am not about to let the worst of the left-wing do the same and dictate what is correct to the rest of us on the left. The first part of that is to recognise that the threat is real, that it does exist. Not doing that in the past almost always ended badly for the anti-authoritarian left.
