Left wing folks who think socialism is nothing except state(public) ownership of the means of production & it is tied to a nation state are imo an other side to the same coin as those who cannot see or want an end to capitalism.
Both cannot imagine a world without hierarchies.
Both are equally trapped in the truth-game or hegemony so they both mock imagination & seeing past capitalism as "utopian" ignoring they themselves are just reactionary

One thing I've noticed lately with rightists using the whole "freedom of speech" rhetoric is that you'll never hear them use the term "freedom of expression" instead.
Why?
Other than them parroting everyone else, free expression is broad enough that it can cover stuff they won't like. They have no interest in freedom of expression related to art, appearance, gender, emotion or in some cases even personal interests.
Reading about early american history is basically a giant what if? scenario where at least 6 other possibilities where avaible.
That is when you realise we are living in the bad timeline
