Yeah one of the reasons among others why I was really off put when interacting IRL with the local Trotskyist group here (whose apparently funded according to one member I was talking to by some local rich Trotskyist) when they kept talking about "stalinist" unironically among the current "left". Like bro we are not at the point were that's relevant at all we need to band together. To be fair though they were much cooler then super online Trotskyist and we had much in agreement and alot of them really do do serious organizing, even if it's within the bounds of western imperialism quite often . One of them worked at a military manufacturer.

When asked in person I just say I'm a "pan leftist" so as to cut through the pointless larping factionalism. Personally my world view is also influenced by many non Marxist writers.
