Leftcoms are a cult that base their politics entirely on ideology and ignore material reality, exhibit #2214124: https://twitter.com/TheYungHegelian/status/1249033462620790784

As a Marxist-Leninist I read Marx, Lenin, etc as a guide to help me understand capitalism and socialism better, not to obsess over the esoteric meaning of specific quotes so that I may bludgeon my "ideological enemies"
