Lol its on you if you cant tell someone is on the "extreme left" when they said their views are formed by reading and talking to people not from the first world.
That just means you, yes you, lack the political knowledge to identify people even when they identify the most basic foundations of their views right in front of you lol.
You think extreme right wingers are talking to the global south and reading theory? Lmfao.
But the thing is that they aren't formed by reading, unless you mean USSR propaganda pamphlets.
The straight up denial that Russia or China could do anything wrong is what gets me, same with the claim that Communism is in itself viable.
Communism is a fairy tale, just like the Free Market, for the exact same reason.
My user name is literally based on Thomas Sankara lol, but ok nice strawman im sure the person you just invented in your head is scary.
I also have a degree in sociology and read up to date sociological studies, I've read most of Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Marx and I've read most of what Sankara, Fred Hampton, Angella Davis and Claudia Jones have to say for one.
What have you read?
