It’s the focus only on nationalising services and an underlying assumption that “nationalisation will provide a better service than a market approach”. I’d say this is as clearly nonsense as the opposite extreme - that markets always provide better outcomes.
There are situations where nationalisation works, situations where a pure market approach is best and often situations where government provide direction and boundaries for private companies.
I can’t recall anything in labour manifesto that helped or supported private enterprise. This focus exclusively on nationalising companies and on providing services directly from government is, I think, what attracts the hard left labelling.
