I love how afterwards he acts like an ultra or something. Great scene.

Isn't he just quoting Mao?

Edit: I mean, Maoism is a subset of Leninism, which is opposed to ultra-leftism, aka left-communism. But he does act "ultra-Maoist", if that's what you meant.

I'm not that well read on the different flavors and distinctions and it's been a while since I actually watched that scene. That sounds correct spelled out like you have. That's effectively what I meant, along the lines of "far more principled and dogmatic".
