"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.

    If this guy had a shred of good faith he would : "Hmm, perhaps my persona is unattractive to the working class, the correct thing to do is to avoid forcing myself into a public facing role and work to achieve my political aims in the back room."

    Instead he's out peacocking like the most privileged brat. Because he's a speech & drama stage school kid thirsty for approval.

    fucking politics showbiz ugly people.

      Personally attacking fellow leftists because they don't dress the way you like will bring the revolution any day now
