If you can’t (even critically) support AES because of dogma and idealism, then you’re worthless and a liberal.

    Imperial core ultras are also almost always racist and chauvinist.

      Trotsky Ultraleftists takes as the starting point of his their policy of theatrical gestures, not concrete human beings, not the concrete workers of flesh and blood who are living and struggling in Britain<insert country>, but some sort of ideal and ethereal beings who are revolutionary from head to foot. Is it difficult, however, to understand that only persons devoid of common sense take ideal, ethereal beings as the starting point of their policy?

      But such is the fate of "ultra-Left" phrasemongers. Their phrases are Leftist, but in practice it turns out that they are aiding the enemies of the working class. You go in on the Left and come out on the Right.

      An example of this was when comrade Maurice Bishop led the Grenadan Marxist-Leninist party "The New Jewel" movement to peacefully overthrow the American puppet government, the party contained within it an ultra-Left faction that, for some absurd reason, were not satisfied with the progress that had been achieved and overthrew then murdered comrade Bishop and the revolutionary government on the grounds that "Bishop and his followers departed from the tenants of Marxism-Leninism and we sought to cleanse the rot from the party". This ultra-Left factionalists under first Bernard Coard whom was also overthrown and replaced by Hudson Austin were labeled by Comrade Fidel Castro as the "Pol-pot of the Caribbeans" and accused them of being allegedly supported by the CIA to murder Comrade Bishop and throw the revolutionary Grenadan Republic into chaos in order to justify an American intervention. Which was exactly what happened with the invasion of Grenada in 1983.

      This can be seen again and again through out the communist movement that the ultra-Left says and pantomimes as though it is somehow even more left or more communist than the communists yet their every action has always acted in the interest of Capital. This includes Gonzalo and his shining path cult undermining and murdering communists and socialists in Peru in his holy war to boil babies. This is seen in Cambodia where Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge engaged in the literal construction of a racial hierarchical caste system and red serfdom in addition to ethnically cleansing non-cambodians and purging Cambodian and Vietnamese communists because of their racial pollution of the khmer identity. This is seen in the Russian revolution with the Kronstadt revolt threatening to undermine the communist revolution while engaged in civil war and under international siege and invasion - culminating in the assassination attempt that would lead to the death of Lenin shortly after.

      The ultra-Left, alongside the right opportunists, the social chauvinists, and the bougeoise and their running dogs are all enemies of the communist movement and must be guarded against.
