They love little rhetorical tricks like showing you the front cover of "Left-Wing" Communism: An Infantile Disorder by Lenin but not citing anything Lenin actually said in that book and ignoring the specific early 20th century Russian political context in which it was written. They also love citing random homophobic incidents from people like Stalin in the 40s or Castro in the 60s, and acting as though that means Communism as a political movement must permanently have a heteronormative socially conservative superstructure. They love to do vulgar "workerism" which is where you idealize the "normal" "average" worker and project that as a moral ethic that the rest of society should strive towards. They love to do growth fetishism and treat reproduction and "family units" as a part of the proletariat's "duties" to the capitalist class totally socialist society they envision.
Who's gonna tell him communism is a left ideology ?
