It depends on the type and amount of regulation. I'd definitely classify Doctorow and this blog post as far-left.

IMO there is a particular kind of left that one find in and around the tech world, "Vally left" if you will.

It is a kind of "left" that maybe front some social issues (in particular gender as of late) but that can't bring themselves to really question the way things work on a really deep level.

The kind of left that would not know a industrial or service job if it landed on their head.

Looking over the wikipedia article on him, Doctorow may well be described as a professional activist.
