I know it's not actually a real thing because I'd never seen the phrase more than a month ago and it's getting thrown around as the new insult du jour but what is it supposed to mean?

    It's an attempt at restarting the Larouche movement. As such, there's only a handful of Patsocs because their policies are too right wing to pick up support of anyone left of Ronald Reagan and their use of communist aesthetic is alienating to anyone who'd agree with them politically.

      This is the best answer, they are an organized operation with strong ties to the Schiller Institute.

      It's worth pointing out how (sometimes to hilarious effect) they try to be sneaky about their Larouche associations. On social media, this usually takes the form of the patsoc sharing larouche propoganda while pretending that it's all new information to themselves, and they're "just trying to learn more about it." They're usually pretty easy to spot right away for any ML worth their salt, but I think their cult is more focused on converting baby leftists and center-rights.
