    Good question, those would be self-proclaimed « marxist-leninists » or authcoms, who are actually just red fash and here for the aesthetic of a charismatic leader associated with places that have historically been communist, like russsia or china, despite the obvious fact that they are capitalist oligarchies/autocracies, and despite the fact that these formerly communist countries were never properly socialist to begin with, but state ecomonies led by minority rule instead. In short, lost, terminally online « « leftists » » whose only defense is calling for « unity » and an end to « infighting » as if they were actually a part of the movement to end worker exploitation at all in the first place.

    So, grifters.

      That’s interesting, I do love the English language it’s like an eternal tarantella.

      It’s funny to me that the sensible opinions on China are so vanishingly rare - it seems everyone wants a fantasy version weather that be saintly or demonic. They’re the same about America of course, they hold up someone like Tucker Carlson and say everyone in the west is like this or point to Shell poisoning the Niger Delta and pretend it’s the whole story – or they go the other way and act like unchecked capitalism could solve all their problems.
