I've been leaning toward Leninism since 2010~ when I saw what uncoordinated mass protests achieved with Occupy Wallstreet contrasted with what Leninist parties have been able to achieve. With Bernie and Corbyn I had hopes that they'd win and saw a potential for them to because the systems around them were failing, but both countries are so deeply reactionary that it wasn't surprising. All it did was strangle the reformist in me and put my moral grounding firmly in "We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror."
