That's a pretty facile reading of it. It might surprise you that Curtis is centre right himself.

He self identifies as a liberal in this interview https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-who-s-real.... He also supports the Occupy movement, which I suspect is not a right of center movement.

Liberalism is centre-right. Please remember that Adam Curtis is British, the American political spectrum doesn't really apply here.

No, the liberal democrats are centre-left. Liberalism/authoritarian is mostly a different axis to left/right.

Its perfectly possible to be a left/right leaning liberal in UK politics.

Ah thanks for clarifying. I actually didn't know that.

So IIUC, UK liberals are kinda like US libertarians?
