They also seem to have learned a new word to use instead of "Tankie": ML

Screenshot of a Curated Tumblr Lemmy post, which itself shares a tumblr sceeenshot: Hot take of the day a worrying number of leftists are just Evangelical Christians with the numbers filed off. The world is sinful/a capiralist hellscape, but we just have to wait until the Second Coming/Revolution when everything will be magically fixed. Any attempt to make actual progress makes you a lukewarm Christian/liberal anything less than the apocalypse/revolution, which we are forever waiting for by the way, is completely useless. Also consuming certain media or making certain lifestyle choices is sinfull and unchristian/bad praxis

Yeah, if anything this critique is fairly in line with the critique of western Marxists, but those are famously rarely ML. Millenarianism is a common critique of Trotskyists and Ultras. At first, without reading the title, I thought it was an out of context (and not greatly worded) critique of western leftists from an ML until I saw 'ML' and realized this was weird
