Maybe but even then during the days of the Soviets there were only a minority of people on the wide spectrum of the left who were actively working to either feed the soviets information or otherwise get into positions of power that they hoped would advance that agenda. We're talking about The Guardian here, not the Morning Star.
There is a difference between soviet agents or communists and writers of articles we disagree with.
It's an awful lot of people that would be tarred with this brush.
