    The western leftist need for moral purity in their political strain that serves as little more than a religious effigy. Because we're so far from actually gaining any sort of power as a communist in the imperial core, people attracted to communism right now basically just have the "at least I'm on the right side of history" as one of the few benefits of becoming a communist. And if you're going to be on the right side of history, you want to be on the most right side of history.
