its just ultras being blinded by idealism. the road to socialism must adhere exactly to their idealistic, squeaky-clean plan and anything less is stalinist authoritarian dictatorship genocide or whatever. material conditions be damned, the path is prescribed to be one way and it must be followed. its a critically poor understanding of dialectical materialism.
or maybe they, deep down, want to see socialism fail across the world. if they didn’t, why would they attack AES so ruthlessly? i’m not sure exactly, but these are my two thoughts on why ultras are the way they are.
It’s just so weird. I know a few Ultras in real life and some of them are really well read in theory and yet they fail the absolute basics. Which is the part that confuses me. Like they have so much niche knowledge of Marxism but don’t get the basics. How do you end up like this?
Yeah my father was a naxal he used to say this. Inter commie fighting in 1960-70 was awful. There were hoxaists, romanian commies, khrushchevites, maoists and pol pot types 😁
