Is a real bummer because I am quite a lefty in my own group and general society, and I was hoping for some challenges from further left. But I guess if it’s not straight up revolutionary blood lust it’s just authoritarianism apologists.

Again, it’s one of the reasons I was stoked to join the lemmy/fediverse in the first place.

Yeah. They are not further left, they're just the slightly left wing inside the rest of right wing fascism

Yeah, they pretty much just simp for any authoritarian that calls themselves communist.

You know, typical leftist things... /s

I shall balance them out with something utterly deranged. Wait nope cant think of something that is stupid or crazy enough to balance things out. Fuck it we should create a Trans cat girl joint special forces of NATO and have them assassinate Putin.

Oh man could they assassinate my asshole first?

Thats standard training for them, sadly it has a 105% fatality rate for the volunteers. That 5% was one poor bastard who died revived and thwn died again.

Same. This is my exact experience as well. They absolutely refuse to engage with broader leftist ideas on any academic level. They legitimately think the philosophy ended with Lenin and Mao. Even fucking Jacobin doesn't have enough revolution fan service for them.

I do kind of get a kick out of them quoting Chomsky though, who is absolutely no friend to Marxist-Leninist brain rot.
