"I'm also a Marxist-Leninist."

liberalism

Both are socialists. I don't think we do ourselves any favors by saying that one of the prominent left politicians in America, who is despised by the Democratic party elite, is a "fake" socialist. Evo and AOC are both important courageous leftists.

The differences between them aren't even that extreme. Evo Morales isn't a Marxist-Leninist or anything, he governed as a moderate reformer and actually was protested by the left for being disappointing on a number of things and not going far enough.

These people are the opportunists you've been warned about. Stop defending them. They're less than useless.

    Ok.

    post hoc justification

    "These people are the opportunists you’ve been warned about. Stop defending them. They’re less than useless."

    Right from my post.

    And this was what I was responding to:

    So why bag on NJR for saying the same thing? Jumping down the throats of fellow leftists over minor shit will get us nowhere.

    So I elaborated on what I said in the post from the beginning: opportunists bad, so we should dunk on them. Here's what's wrong with NJR's take.

    So it's not a post hoc justification, it's the whole point of the post. Why does dunking on bad takes bother you?
