Yes, I know from a rhetorical perspective they’re a bunch of jerks who do nothing but complain, but is there an actual takedown of their ideological notions? Because just saying they suck without further explanation makes it hard to dismiss them when they pop up. I don’t agree with them, I just want to know why I shouldn’t. Something about statues and logic and being chained in a courtyard with wind and all that. I’m not sure where to put this, sorry.

Could someone briefly define left-communism for me? Sorry, I didn’t do the reading.

This helps, thank you. Based on this, and what else I’ve read, I’m feeling like it could be summed up as “All theory, no praxis,” ideological purity to the point where none of the successes of any past Marxist/communist projects have lived up to their standards.

Please correct me if that doesn’t sound right.
