Ugh these people suck so bad. On average, western leftists are worse than useless. Some bullet points are kinda interesting, even if annoying.

They criticize Marxism and Trotskyism, but then have no problem doing the classic Trot thing of broadly painting their opponents as "campist" (down to the word). Is this what they mean by "diversity of tactics"?

Like, I won't tell you that there aren't, let's call them, "national contrarians," but they're using the term the same way Trots do in obscuring why some people think these states deserve circumstantial or even broad support. "It's all contrarianism!" "It's all an inverted false consciousness!" The line of questioning ends there.

Whenever someone calls me "campist" i just note to myself that they are in the opposing camp.
