Yes, I know from a rhetorical perspective they're a bunch of jerks who do nothing but complain, but is there an actual takedown of their ideological notions? Because just saying they suck without further explanation makes it hard to dismiss them when they pop up. I don't agree with them, I just want to know why I shouldn't. Something about statues and logic and being chained in a courtyard with wind and all that. I'm not sure where to put this, sorry.

    They don't believe transitional development of socialism is a thing (at least the Dutch ones don't), which kinda begs alot of questions about their fundamental premises concerning practical change, but alot of the critiques are still useful, mostly their critiques on collaboration with liberals and social democrats, but to be fair Kaleckian critiques of class collaboration blows every left-com take on the subject out of the water

    My opinion on left communism can be summed up as "Extraordinary theory requires extraordinary practical results"
