They have built their entire left-identity around anti-communism to the point that they do literally nothing else other than punch left. They function to help the fascists whether they ideologically are secretly or not.
It's a conversion of liberal virtue-signalling from liberalism to leftism. They spend their entire time trying to display that they are the most moral leftist instead of trying to do something useful for leftism. Ironically the outcome of their moralist obsession is immoral.
Yes and no? I see them as barely left of liberal, having taken on the aesthetics of the left (they wear black clothes and put an ancom flag in their profile) but do not actually taken on the theory of the left or change any of the actions they were already doing as a liberal. That last part is the most important here to understand that they have only aesthetically changed from liberalism rather than truly undertaking an ideological change.
Ultra leftists traditionally actually do shit, albeit often foolish shit. Ultras who do nothing are just liberals who have adopted a particular consumer identity.
