i mean, it wouldn’t be the first time british communist orgs have devolved into reactionary tailism.
the fact that this “movement” has zero real world purchase in the US, the nation that gives it all its signifiers and on which it is primarily fixated, should give you an idea of how serious it is. it’s a meme that propagates through the brains of 20th century burnouts who feel nothing but disgust and confusion at pretty much every historical development since the working class lost the cold war, and so latch onto the growing fascist wave – which frankly doesn’t need direct help from the feds – despite also being unable to understand why it’s been successful.
additionally, i recommend that you abandon the thought-terminating cliche of the “psyop.” without any evidence that some social development is actually motivated by a nefarious actor, all it refers to is one’s subjective feeling that what you’re seeing is too bizarre to have a rational explanation. it’s, frankly, antimaterialist, and not unlike the reasoning that motivates “MAGA communists”; observe how they often like to call challenges to their personal bigotries tools of the CIA.
