I’ve long called Leftists neoPuritans. All the same fanaticism, intolerance, moral certainty, humorlessness and sheer zealotry is right there on full display. These are the same killjoys who banned dancing and maypoles and football as well as other sports and who tried to ban Christmas when they managed to take power in England.

There was one thing you left out...the neoPuritans, unlike their namesakes, have utterly NO belief in any god, except themselves. Or maybe 'Gaia'.

For neo Puritans, government is their god. I tend to believe they think of Gaia as a Leftist saint that can help deliver government power to them.
