From all the concern trolling I see in the other instances it’s clear that there’s no winning over these people. Everything is “Kremlin propaganda” to them. I do think a lot of chapos did go a little overboard with the PPB, but even thoughtful responses were met with the “hateful rhetoric” and “Kremlin talking points” BS. As always, it is to the Global South we must look to for any hope in the future…
I think distrust and constant critique of existing hierarchies and authorities is always healthy + good no matter who is in charge frankly. Even if Lenin himself were leading America any good socialist must be constantly aware of the potentialities for leadership and once-revolutionary structures to go awry.
