Denying privileged doesn’t make it go away. You have to first understand something in order to deconstruct or oppose it.

That doesn’t make sense. You need to start with a correct historical and material analysis before you can approach anything else. Socialism is based on dialectical materialism, not gaining ‘followers’. Leftism is not a religion that aims to have many converts but rather should understand why neocolonialism and other such institutions would deincentivize white people from being leftists in the United States in the first place.
I guess those values like Nazism and goals of cultural suppression of Russian-speaking people in the Donbas was all just to “protect their families”
The Uyghur genocide that the UN doesn’t refer to as a genocide? That genocide?
I think you should read J. Sakai’s Settlers. It explains this (in a US context) quite well and I think that it refutes the concept of just making leftism “more appealing” for people
Accepting the Democrats support for the genocide of the Palestinian people just because of “voting for the lesser evil”
Everyone who disagrees with me is a bot!
Hmm, could there be some bias that almost every single major country on Earth signed treaties in some capacity with Axis powers? Oh nah, that just must be these two countries. Britain and France would never….
This just advocating for adventurism. Lenin said, in Adventurism that,
“*Now take the other groups which pose as “trends”. We shall enumerate them: 1) the Vperyod group plus Alexinsky; 2) ditto plus Bogdanov; 3) ditto plus Voinov; 4) the Plekhanovites; 5) the “pro-Party Bolsheviks” (actually conciliators: Mark Sommer and his crowd); 6) the Trotskyists (i. e., Trotsky even minus Semkovsky); 7) the “Caucasians” (i. e., An minus the Caucasus).
We have enumerated the groups mentioned in the press. In Russia and abroad they have stated that they want to be separate “trends” and groups. We have tried to list all the Russian groups, omitting the non-Russian. All these groups, without exception, represent sheer adventurism.
“Why? Where is the proof?” the reader will ask. Proof is provided by the history of the last decade (1904–14), which is most eventful and significant. During these ten years members of these groups have displayed the most helpless, most pitiful, most ludicrous vacillation on serious questions of tactics and organisation, and have shown their utter inability to create trends with roots among the masses.*”

Adventurism is just a non-Marxist and non-revolutionary response to reactionary politics. Advocating for it, and following through on it are useless. Assassinating Franz Ferdinand didn’t achieve the Black Hands goals’ and nor will it achieve any other groups’.
The idea that any of these theories have become “brutal and distorted” is incredibly dishonest. Please tell us about this trend of this occurring and not the trend of Marxism correctly analyzing material conditions in a scientific manner. Please tell us about how millions weren’t lifted out of poverty by China, Vietnam, Cuba, the USSR, Laos, DPR Korea, and many other states influenced by MLism. Your comment stinks of ignorance. Mao’s Combat Liberalism explains how your thinking is reactionary and ridiculous. When you have not investigated history, you have no right to comment on history.
Being ‘short-sighted’ is irrelevant. That’s not at all how all evolution works. Dollo’s Law of Irreversibility knocks down any notion of ‘devolving’ existing anyway. Evolutionary paths are not going to go trace themselves back again.
