They're not relevant in the slightest IRL.
Anyone want to explain why I see so much shit about patsocs in every online leftist space, all of which is totally divorced from things people actually give a shit about IRL?
It seems there's this trend where some patsocist says something absurd online -> everyone rushes to dunk/criticize/make fun of it -> the patsoc's message gets amplified to the millionth degree. Do content creators not realize that shitting out 500 videos/threads/posts/etc dunking on something that only exists online is only going to amplify it further?
Patsocs are revisionists - while it is exhausting, their obtuse paraphrasing of Marxian thought needs to be combated/dispelled.
I agree that they are irrelevant in the sense that conventional discourse surrounding Marxism is so undeveloped that it's no worse than the more traditional bastardizations, but in terms of people who are actively trying to develop their understanding of Marxism it presents an element of confusion.
