This was retweeted today by Ben Norton posting to inform people falling for the Larouche “anti war” protests, it is very long fair warning but there is an audio narration option and you can up the speed

    This kind of examination of subversion within the left is functionally useless without a call to action attached to it. Not attacking this article in particular, but if we're going to build an influential communist left in america, we need to keep doing this but add in actual advice to the broader movement so we can learn from it.

    Like many have said, the only meaningful way to stop Larouchites from fucking with our chance of a better future is by casually out-organizing them. Anything less, even if it ends their movement, would just end with us all back where we started, wallowing in the mud with 0 communists confronting US politicians, not even these morons. Then we'd rinse and repeat, moving onto the next split/wrecker to complain about.

    If we fought them in the streets the public would just see 2 tiny factions of communists fighting. If we directly condemn them too harshly, they'll bite back with even more aggravating sectarianism and keep the fire burning. The only way forward is to outmaneuver them naturally, not even out of spite but from desire to build a movement. Which we should've already been doing anyway.
