    A Dutch leftist platform has launched a ML reading group and people in the comments are calling it cringe and say ML ‘tankie group’ has no place in the leftist movement.

    Socdems it is I guess

      I’m now asking why they’re mad and the answers are: we don’t know what they want really, and: It’s related to Stalinism and Stalin bad

          Apparently ML ideology leads to rigid, bureaucratic systems that can’t produce revolutionary masses.

          Lenin the bureaucrat guys

            The topic has cooled down now. They seem to be Trotskyists, which is always easier if you’re living in the imperial core in crackerland. Their solution to radical revolution seems to be to just organize, but not in the way other socialist projects did. I think that’s why we see so many successful Trotskyist revolutions.

            And it just boils down to: USSR and China bad, wholesome theorist that never contributed to a meaningful revolution good.
