    What’s your point?

    Nothing, I just wanted to put forth my semantics realization and see if there were any counter arguments as to why just calling oneself a Leninist would be any different than calling oneself a Marxist Leninist.

    What are you trying to accomplish with this discussion?

    Same answer

    Why do you care so much about this?

    I don’t care that much. I just wanted to hear the reasons that other people had and presented my own. I don’t have any horse in the race.

    What difference does it make what you call yourself, why do you want us to agree with you?

    People can call themselves whatever they want. I just wanted to discuss if Leninism would be the most semantically correct term, and put forth my reasoning as I explained previously.

    These questions honestly feel like a serious interrogation just for a question about word accuracy and semantics.

    Edit: That is how conversation works. Someone says an argument and if another person doesn’t agree they say a counter argument. Not agreeing about the usage of one term or thinking that it could be shortened doesn’t mean that someone has a hidden agenda.
