"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.

    See? That's why I lose the faith to live sometimes. A socialist gets into power and there are leftists who want to take him down. Sometimes even justifying a RACIST, NEOLIBERAL COUP against him. I really hope this line of thoufgt doesn't infect the left more like the cancer it is. Fuck him. Just fuck him.

      Are we reading the same tweets? Absolutely nothing about this even comes close to justifying the coup against Morales. He calls Morales an "important, courageous leftist" for shit's sake.
