"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I've mostly gotten this from other communists. It's the No True Scotsman fallacy switched to No True Communist due to some odd tribalism. They get so hung up on methodology and ideology that they lose sight of the goal.
I found it used by BadMouse lol (in their video about becoming an anarchist after being a Marxist-Leninist) as a supposed thing that Marxist-Leninists have said as a criticism. Whether or not the criticism from MLs was true depends on additional factors. However, if they did not support certain key aspects of Marxism-Leninism (like the theory of imperialism), then they should not be called a Marxist-Leninist.
There is a difference between minor and major principles, with the latter being key to determining if one fits into a given category.
Yeah it was basically my view until I read more about socialist countries and realized my brain was still mired in anti-communist gunk (even after I agreed with the ideas of Marx).
Western Marxists are notorious for it. Especially the 1st world Maoists and Hoaxhaists.
