I've had people use Lenin suggesting using the British Labour party to spread revolutionary class consciousness in the early 20th century as proof British leftists should all vote for :tory:, the brainworms run deep.
A British Labour party that literally had not even won an election yet, and was 2 years out from becoming the actual major opposition party to the Tories.
And even then Lenin was talking about how it would be a short term tactic to take advantage of the rise and inevitable opportunistic betrayal of this party that is aligned with imperialism and the bourgeoise through its leadership, while its membership were majority and cohesively organized working class.
