    Extremely funny addendum: this was posted on /r/196 (the liberal chaser subreddit) and nobody got the joke

    There’s also another comment that linked the text by Lenin but completely misunderstood what left communism actually is.

        “Left wing communism” as Lenin describes in Left Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder is basically what today’s western leftists are: people who understand a few Marxist concepts and then act like they understand the secret fundamental truths that the socialists of AES states are too stupid to understand. People who think socialism isn’t necessary and you can just jump straight to communism.

        Leftcoms bordiga-despair actually have more of an ideology than I’m giving them credit for, but for the purposes of everyone who laughed at this meme it’s probably not like it matters too much.

    Always been kinda peeved it’s called “LEFT communism”… Utopian communism, Abstract communism, Romantic communism, Don Quixote communism etc. are right there for the taking

    Socialists in the west have always been sub-par in terms of naming conventions, I mean look at the Objectivists, they literally claimed the word OBJECTIVE, the arrogance and gall is hilarious but the energy is immaculate
