    I don't know a single Communist that wouldn't say that George's ideas were important. Reformist and limited, perhaps, but an important part of Socialist development and with policy that can be used to advance revolutionary measures.

    But "Georgists" are universally just the worst.

      Lots of progressive-ish neoliberals adopt Georgist talking points in the same way Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg adopts leftist language in defense of liberalism. They make noises about wanting better things, they do thousand-page white papers about how they'd change policy, and then they undercut anyone else trying to actually execute on the vision by screaming "You're a bigot! You're a radical! You're a monster!"
