I’m almost convinced that people don’t become ultraleft; they end up ultraleft. What type of confusion, abuse, bigotry, whatever- it doesn’t matter- turns someone into an ultraleft?

I’m at my wits end, are they just neoliberals that haven’t accepted that fact?

    From personal experience. I could have been considered ultra left when I first started to understand capitalism, imperialism, and real alternatives.

    But the more I read, thought about it, watched, and spoke to people, the less ultra left I became.

    So old white dudes were right. The older I got the more conservative I would become… Well, the less left … Sort of…

      Same. I started on the deep end because I had yet to be purged brain worms and found a version of leftism that said “those AES states you’ve been programmed not to like? Guess what, we got an ideology that lets you not purge those brainworms AND call yourself a communist”.

      So glad the cth bullied me into reading , y’all do too, but isn’t as chronically needed as back then.
