Honestly wtf even is a left-comm? I've only seen that as an online term.

    A tendency of Marxists that came about after the soviet union was established who were opposed to the bolsheviks for a variety of reasons. They never existed in huge numbers and they're basically dead as a group nowadays which is why you will never hear about them outside of drama on left twitter

    Lenin did write a whole thing about it called "Left Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder" so it's not JUST online. But I feel like there's not much to talk about IRL given how smol and sad our current left movement is.

    People who believe "real socialism/communism has never been attempted/achieved"

    (This is an incredibly oversimplified version)
