It indeed is a tool that can be used by all camps, but the organisation that controls it has made it clear that only people in the "libertarian" part of the political spectrum can use it.

How exactly have they made that clear?

I thought it was pretty clear that Tor is for everyone.

You contradict yourself in very few words:

can be used by all camps

and

only people in the "libertarian" part of the political spectrum can use it

Additionally, the organisation that controls it don't control the content or who can use it. They continue to improve it and maintain it for the purposes of maximizing anonymity and preventing the type of 'control' that you seem to think they're capable of.

That's just silly, I can't see any evidence for that. What causes you to believe this?

Please link and explain this.

When has the Tor Project ever excluded anyone based on ideology?
