    You don’t have to ally with them when you’re seizing power, but they provide a necessary service in spreading and mainstreaming left wing ideas.

    You’ve got to till the soil if you want to plant the seed.

      They spread misconceptions and distortions of Marxism, not Marxism itself. Radicalizing people in the imperial core and in the west is way more difficult than radicalizing oppressed and colonized people partially because they have all these filters.

      A poor Ugandan worker goes straight to Marxism-Leninism as soon as they radicalize.

      A poor American worker has to go through social democracy, anarchism, ultraleft positions and then finally sometimes arrive at Marxism-Leninism.

      The so-called “mainstreaming of leftist ideas” is actually the spreading of bourgeoise distortions.
