As a former retail worker, I always slightly disagreed with the shopping cart test.
Going outside to get the carts meant going out of range of the radio system that they had all us techs and sales people hooked up to. So in my mind I was like: " fuck up them carts all you want, I'll go outside, get some exercise, and some fucking peace of mind."
No excuse to leave the carts in everyone's way and make parking difficult.
It's funny you're getting down votes for this. ML was literally created as the official formulation of Marxism & Leninism for the USSR by Stalin.
They should check if .cia is open if they're want to switch over to something more fitting.
Try going to any "scientific socialist" community and tell them you don't believe what Trotsky said about the Kronstadt sailors.
Watch criticism of party structures and leaders get flattened into base-anticommunism.
I've read and listened to plenty of Marxists, enough for me to trust in their analysis, and not their ability to talk to people who don't know how, or don't want to learn how to walk on your eggshells.
It's really. Really. Not hard. To actually critize groups like LGBT without being a bigot. Are some of them jumpy? Yeah I would be too when political parties actively want me dead.
It's almost like people so online as to be proud to call themselves "tankies" (yet whine when people call them that) were literally planning to brigade and shit post.
I'm pretty damn left wing, but these people consider listening to podcasts and taking over the mod teams of subreddits to be revolutionary praxis.
