accept is that, if living in England about 50 years ago, I would have been far less radical

I think the word you're looking for here is reactionary, WAV - and in the England of 1960, who can say? I wasn't born until 1961, and my England was a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic working-class truly radical paradise in which your philosophy would have been derided for the misanthropic, racist, sexist, & fascistic bullshit it most surely is.
