your (and many people’s) assumptions about modern marxists shows how unrepresentative and distorting these snippets are, in a way that i often find difficult to even articulate. similarly with nazism: if you correctly identified it to be evil and want to know how to defeat it, you have to understand it.

or blindly trust the people fighting them, but thats an obvious slippery slope, which is why marxists insist so much on not letting yourself be informed by just the few pieces that fall through the cracks of the system and read theory.
