I think it's probably just as easy to be a vaushite as it is to be a fan of Joe Rogan, if you accept that kind of passive consumption as political orientation.
I don't really believe a unified "left wing" exists.
It's harder to be a well-read, committed, and active Marxist-leninist than it is to be someone who simply wants to roll back the status quo to their benefit, sure.
There are plenty of nominal leftists who don't read theory, don't put their principles in practice in their life, and aren't connected with a party, cadre work, or real life organizing (guilty).
