    Top comment saying "any time someone talks about opposing imperialism before capitalism is a red flag" is a pretty good encapsulation of the person we are contending with here

        I dunno if i'd poop on leftcoms like that, or even say the people in the video are left coms either.

        Left communism to me has always just been communism but le weed is legalized lol, why cant they be that cool???

        Ultra leftists to me are sort of like orthodox christians, people who take marx's (or mao's) words as scripture that cannot be deviated from; this to me seems like a right deviation, shutting down new ideas and retracting isnt progression, which I would associate with 'right' deviations.

          Yeah, these guys seem more "patsoc" than leftcom. But I don't have any respect for leftcoms, they've always spent more energy crapping on actual socialist projects than opposing capitalism.

    One of the SSN guys is a fucking reactionary pretending to be red, he makes fun of people for being "low IQ" and thinks decol is lebensraum. I find it pretty funny they made a video on this after we blocked them on twitter.

    The logo of the triangle is a nod to the Tricontinental which raises more questions, why would you make your logo so close to something else? Especially as the Tricontinental seems to take heavily from Gramsci which these guys don't like because he criticised Bordiga.

    I remain steadfast in what I told them on twitter: tell us who gives a shit about Bordiga outside of your fringe groups and we'll write more on him. They failed to do that, preferring instead to throw insults.

      Also I don't know if the Twitter algorithm is that good that it can tell who I'm talking to and who is being talked about in a way that they serve me more of this content, but every time ProleWiki gets into drama with some weirdos, I see them getting dragged even further on my timeline by other accounts. Like stuff starts to surface. It's the second time this has happened and I don't think the algo is that good (it's Musk's twitter we're talking about), but I also don't think we have that much power...?

        I think whats happening is you're interacting with /leftypol/, which for those who dont know is a derative of 8chan. Its a site full of actual pedophiles who got pushed out of 8chan for being the only type of 'leftists' even 8chan wont tolerate... lol

        Bordy is a figure over there.
