I am baffled as to how so many Western leftists are either shitlibs, revisionists, or ultras and rarely any principled leftists? Does labor aristocracy have to do with this? My candidate for the start is when the CIA started funding the glowies (i.e. the Anti-Stalinist left).
You’re already underselling the level of crosstalk between US white labor unions and the KKK. The St Louis “Soviet” formed a lynch mob during WW1.
