"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.

    I like fancy lads that don't insist on being the face of political projects intended to appeal to the deprived working class, while their entire assumed persona is FUCKING POISON to that class.

    Also, I'm not going to retreat from the ignorance here. There have been attacks on the homes of immigrants in the last year. Public abuse and intimidation too.
