Head to head, side by side, let's do a comparison.
Ruling Class
----------
ISIS: Allawites and their kin are a minority religious sect having control over the majority. They only let Allawites in to important positions in government, business and the military. Chop off their heads!
Radical Socialists: Big business and the government and the Freemasons and the Illuminati all work together to exploit us for their gain. They are the string pullers. They rig elections and it is a closed world. Viva la revolucion!
Differences? None. Same message, same motivation.
Methods to gather support and impose their will
----------
ISIS: Appeals to your sense of solidarity. "there is one God". Imposes controls upon your behaviour, invokes religious law, threats of violence. You are not free to be yourself.
Radical Socialism: Appeals to your sense of solidarity. "we the workers are exploited by the ruling class". Demands social and political change to control your behaviour. If you are disgusted by two men making out in the library or cafeteria, you are discriminatory and breaking the law. Your feelings are bad. Feelings YOU can't control.
Differences? None. Same end game (political oppression of free belief to ensure the ability to exert power and control). Same methods of control.
End Game
----------
ISIS: Have control of the government. Have strict rules imposed upon your behaviour.
Radical Socialism: Have control of government. Have strict rules imposed upon your behaviour.
Differences? None. Radical socialists harbour extremely violent intentions. They are known to support violence and terrorism. They support Jihadist groups such as Hamas. They support Che Guevara. They support the military activities of foreign nations. ISIS has emerged in a place where they are now able to use violence to achieve their aims. Radical socialists are not quite there yet, their propaganda has not affected enough people.
Summary
----------
These groups are very similar in intent and design. There needs to be a distinction made between radical socialism and genuine campaigners for human rights. However radical socialism seems to hijack genuine movements, such as calls for free health care and better employment protections and use them to generate support for their radical socialist agenda by putting those issues alongside "the Israeli ruling elite have taken over the Federal Reserve, free Palestine!".

Let's think about what public displays of affection could cause in society:
Feelings of peace
Feelings of "that's cute"
Not conducive to feelings of "go to work, be serious and not wear tight shirts, pay bills". Not conducive to a prison society.
And that's how the government looks at you. That's how government has been for thousands of years.
Is it in the west? Yes.
Identity politics are used in the political diatribe.
Instead of attacking ideas, the person is attacked. The movement is attacked. Your sense of identity, your ability to conform, is used to pressure you in to behaving in a certain way.
