    Alright, we can call them imperialists-who-also-like-welfare

    You just seem to think that welfare IS imperialism even when talking about communist parties that, literally, denounce imperialism. It's unserious, and you're giving uo trying to convince working class people (including the ones in these protests) that you can meaningfuly make their lives better

    You say it was unserious in the 1930s but it was already thoroughly vindicated in 1919 when the SPD collaborated with the proto-Nazi freikorps to have the KPD leadership murdered.

    That's completely anachronistic, THAT was the event that LEAD TO third periodism. You don't retroactively "vindicate" third periodism in Germany, where it had by far the worst result, by pointing to the, albeit understandable, reason that motivated it. It was a bad policy that's not hard to understand it ended up with the soviet union, which the "social fascism" formulation was intending to benefit, COMPLETELY DESTROYED, even if the nazis WERE deafeated it was a failure on part of the communists to have let hitler come to power and permanently knee-cap the USSR against the USA.
