I consider myself a marxist, but do not support either country. Lenin and Mao did some good things and I'll credit them where I believe it's due, but what China and the USSR eventually became is not something I can support. Based off what I've seen on this site it seems you're not allowed to be a marxist unless you also support these states. Is there some lesser known tendency of marxism that doesn't require support for these states?

    nah, I've met plenty IRL. there's a sizeable fraction of them in DSA, ignoring the rest of the org and working on some useful projects. I find them insufferable anyway.

        large in the sense that they make the news. but yeah, we haven't unified on any line and it's unlikely that we will for a bit yet.
