Hello,

Why is every "anti-revisionist" marxist an ultra? "Anti-revisionism" is so amogus because they claim to be the opposite of who they are

    ..Why is anti-China marxism so big?..

    If you were a CIA operative, working out the details of, say, COINTELPRO, and knowing there is a substantial amount of Marxists and communist-leaning people out there... AND one of your goals was to demonize the AES states... Wouldn't you want to tear off a chunk of potential revolutionaries and defang them, turning them into armchair communists who never achieved anything and who always criticize everyone who did?

    Bear in mind that a lot of those are in the West. Parenti spoke ostensibly about leftcoms/ultras (and left-anticommunism). This gets a few people off your mind, making the situation safer for the capitalist state machine at home.

    "Neither Washington nor Moscow Beijing" shit

      I have found a really simple reframing that can work on a lot of those types of people is "my enemies arent in (insert foreign capitol city) they are in washington"

      A lot of them even if they dont get out of that anti-americas enemies mindset recognize the bigger threat to them is domestic politicians.
