Crushed

His call to “crush” those who oppose his views has chilling echoes of Lenin's call to hang the enemies of the Revolution

Owen Jones argues on Twitter with reference to the far right that the “debate will be between those who believe they should be ... listened to and those of us who think they must be crushed”.

Who is the “far right”? As far as I can gather it's anyone OJ believes disagrees with his view of leftist liberalism. Either you accept his dogma, or you are the opposition

His call to “crush” those who oppose his views has chilling echoes of Lenin and his call to hang the enemies of the Revolution. His statement simply highlights the fact that Communists are no different to Fascists. Both will intimidate, both will use violence, both will terrorise those deemed to be the enemy.
