Adding onto ComradeSalad’s points, they’re 100% a last resort if you can’t find some actual communists to shoot with. I was in a chapter with about 8 people 5 years or so ago and I was the only self-identified Marxist. Social democrats, anarchists, left-liberals. “Left unity” out the ass (unless you’re an ML, good luck).
They’ve got a sex pest and ideological chaos problem. The SRA subreddit is evidence enough of their nonsense.
By theory they mean the likes of Zizek and Chomsky, I’m sure. Unfortunately there are a lot of other popular, Western ‘Marxist’ theorists, too, who don’t support AES. They can be a good route in, but unless there’s some encouragement to read ML works, it’s a dead end branch of theory. For some reason, those newer theorists get rather a lot of distribution.
