the squishy electoral left of america keeps acting like nazis and endorsing nazis, all the while punching left at actual communists and anti-imperialists and calling them “tankies” and “red fash” or “ultra”
ultra-leftist. While it is a real phenomena where there are some groups which are quite dogmatic and don’t believe that any socialist project in history was up to their standard (leftcoms, some maoists and orthodox marxists), it’s also just a favorite derogatory term of social democrats, liberals and revisionists to wave away any critique from their left. With the recent awakening of consciousness regarding Palestine and the Zionist entity, it’s become a favorite phrase of “progressive Democrats” to push back against the annoying anti-zionists and anti-Democratic Party Entryists nipping at their heels. The “progressive” Democrats are LARPing being Lenin, the socialist center, and acting like those to their left are the infantile and unserious left communists. The progressive Democrats believe themselves to be far more left than they actually are, not realizing they are the leftwing of fascism not the center of a proletarian movement.

This is utter gibberish to me. I have no idea what it is about or who that guy is, and I’m going to move on and see that it stays that way.

And “ultras,” in this case
That’s for the best. It’s deeply American
