    I mean yeah kind of. You probably won't be able to eliminate opportunism entirely but I believe it's gonna happen less in more decentralized organizations where leadership turnover is higher.

    I get why ML parties have centralized and hierarchical leadership but it's also pretty fucking obvious that it would eventually get filled with opportunists.

    In my (ex Yugoslavian) country most of our political elite are ex communist party members, both in center-left and center-right parties. There's clearly a huge problem of opportunism that ML parties just never really solved.

      Listen, you should be so lucky that opportunists think they can get somewhere in your movement. DJ Khaled: Suffering from success.

        I mean it wouldn't even be THAT hard to mitigate, just have some system of checks and balances (that actually for real works and doesn't just exist on paper) within the party to prevent disasters like the Cultural Revolution in China.

        Say what you will about liberal democracies but SOMETIMES these checks and balances actually fucking work.

      OPPORTUNISM???? Haha silly child, that is the easiest way for living to once again come to fruition. Embrace the pain, embrace the suffering, embrace the tyranny.
