Is there literally any kind of Marxist basis for this asshole's position? Baristas grind up beans and add hot water and hot milk, and thus their labor turns the coffee beans and milk into a commodity. It's textbook extraction of surplus value. Am I missing something there? Is it because the beans and milk are also commodities, or what? Can someone explain this to me?

    It’s incoherent splitting along cultural lines with no basis in Marxism, ie splitting and wrecking

      I think it's also tailism but a weirdly degraded form, cause it's not just chasing public opinion of the whole masses and instead chasing public opinion of one particular section of the working class (namely, chuds).

        They haven't actually purged themselves of anti-communism. They're what happens if you wanted to be a communist because you see how shitty capitalism is but also simultaneously believed every anti-communist lie told to you by the US government/media. They're not willing to let go of the anti-communism so they try to distort Marxism around that to end up with this nonsense above.
