They know they just don't care. Their goal isn't to win elections.
i dont think all of them know. i think a lot of them are anticommunists so hard that they're structurally incapable of seeing what's happening. like, i dont think most of them are cackling behind closed doors, saying "haha, now is the time of fascism, unleash the beast, make the working class pay! class solidarity above even the needs of the empire!"
they're still effective at countering any actual leftward shift, so they're still a capable organization. but i think the rank and file really dont see that they look like they're trying to lose elections. the behavior is just built into the party.
