This may be out of left field but you might be interested in Michael Parenti's essay "left-wing anti communism". It's about this same thing in American politics where everyone from the furthest right to furthest left has to condemn socialism before opening their mouth, and how it's turned the US's elected left into preemptively apologetic losers.

No idea where you stand politically but there's not that many arguments about this type of rhetorical error so hopefully you consider it.
