I’m a raging leftist but I’m getting tired of "deontologists" telling me they refuse to vote for Biden then telling me how great Xi Jinping is.

I have to caulk it up to young people learning about socialism and communism for the first time, but they're only reading Marx and Lenin.

Like hey guys, they lost pretty hard. Maybe we shouldn't do exactly the same thing and in fact there's decades of work outlining what we should do instead?

That's the charitable interpretation. The less charitable one is astroturfing aiming to further destabilize "the west"

Yes! Their positions and actions are suspiciously very demobilising.

No unity even in the most basic stuff. No willingness to hold a constructive conversation. Things have to be done in their way or you're labeled an enemy. Doctrine above humanity. Incessant nitpicking.

How do they intend to build socialism if they can't even have an honest, good faith conversation?
