    You misunderstood what I meant. I meant that there are non-Leninists Marxists, but that all Leninists are Marxists; therefore, saying “Marxist-Leninist” seems redundant.

    Edit: Also can you please not laugh at what I say? That is just patronizing and rude. This is supposed to be a place of respect, and I in no way have disrespected you or infantalized you by mocking what you say, thanks.

    I don’t know you in a personal level and we are not friends in any way, so that was just uncalled for.

      Yes, we heard you: you think it sounds redundant. You’ve said your piece, repeatedly. Feel free to think that. But that’s still what we call it, and we’re not going to change what we call ourselves because you think it sounds redundant. It’s like you’re looking for the most poindexter, praxisless hill to die on.

        I repeated it because I got an answer totally unrelated to what I stated. So I was not sure if the replier understood my point. No need to get hostile here comrade. Discussing about this stuff is dialectical and has brought tons of interesting perspectives about it. Getting defensive about someone questioning a naming convention and saying something along the lines of “that is just the way it is and nothing that you say will change it” sounds very dogmatic and anti-Marxist honestly.
