I mean, I consider some of the current patsoc types to fall under "cosplaying as one to try to fuck things up" or "cosplaying as one to try to capture labor energy under a new brand of fascism, much like Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, etc." It's not that I think they're all internet trolls; more so that this particular one doesn't read like someone who is sincerely trying to be a communist. Either way, the outcome is much the same, that we have to make it clear what is and isn't helpful and acceptable.

That said, I can tell you some of the tells of it that makes me think it's more "total bullshit" than "sincere but wrong", so that people can consider it for spotting nonsense in the future. 1) It is vacuously academic. It leans heavily into overly formal academic language, as some communists are prone to doing, but doesn't do meaningful analysis with it. 2) It ends with the unearned "comrades" as if it's talking to party members it has fought alongside in pitched battle. 3) It uses a lot of "and the rest of the fucking owl" reasoning, jumping around in a racist premise to get to its conclusion. 4) It's got a username like "Karlkropotkin". Same energy as "hello fellow kids" but "hello fellow communists, what a marxist day we're having. Have you read up on kropotkin lately? I have. In fact, I was just doing communist things over in my communally shared place of residence in order to advance the cause of the global proletariat against the bourgeoisie."
