it's honestly so delusional. If anything the left hasn't been this organised in 40 years, especially in the imperial core, and 2020 saw massive growth in most left orgs in a "rising tide lifts all boats" kind of way. Anyways, here is a quote:

And while Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is a boutique object to be put back on the shelf when you grow up and join the machine you once raged against, the corporate HR-speak and identity politics of the Left is a useful skill that can be utilised in full once you make the transition from Communism to K Street.

      It gets better, the website UnHerd was founded by Tim Montgomerie, Boris Johnson's "social justice adviser" who has been quoted as saying:

      Though revolutionary Marxism died, its fellow traveller, cultural Marxism, prospered

      edit: he also advocates for a "special relationship" between the UK and Orban's Hungary. Point is, he is probably a fascist

      So I heard this person's name for the first time a couple days ago and googled her, and the first thing I found was a KnowYourMeme article saying she's a fake person and all the screenshots of her tweets are fake. So like, whats going on there? I am deeply confused.

        She's someone on twitter who tweets like 1600 times a day, seemingly to piss off other marxists on twitter. Calls herself "post-left". Don't know too much more
