Genuine question: have there been any terrorist attacks planned or executed by people in the UK in the name of any of those ideas? I know there have genuinely been communist terrorist acts in other places, but I can’t think of any that happened here.

If you want to be technical about it, the attacks on the police by anti-fascist demonstrators at the Battle of Cable Street could be considered terrorism.
The term is so vague as to be completely useless IMO.

And even if we count Cable Street, it was about a hundred years ago!

It seems like it’s super useful.
When you want to demonise, discredit or intimidate.
