Yeah but that's not any real kind of refutation and not worth disregarding the hard fought for victories that Marxists have been able to achieve across the globe, a claim like that can be levied against any sufficiently motivated group. Someone considering themselves a leftist and refusing to engage with it's most expansive and liberatory history and theory calls into question the use of even calling people "leftists" in the first place, what's even the point?

    It's fine to disagree with him, but when we're talking about fellow leftists the disagreement should be with what they actually said or did. Caricaturing their positions (or more blatantly misrepresenting them) does nothing but create bitter infighting.
