Because they call themselves that, for one. I've never talked to Hartley,
but I did a long interview on my radio show the other week with Bright, and
we talked, among other things (like left puritanism) about the relation
between capitalism and sexual repression. Bright's political career started
with a anarcho-red group in her Los Angeles high school, and continued with
her membership in the IS (from which she was expelled in the late 1970s for
insufficient puritanism).
