I just closed this thread to look at another one in which someone (from outside of the USA such as myself) was praising Midwestern Marx, particularly when it comes to putting out communist propaganda. They have given credence to “MAGA communism” now. Would you say that anybody who spent time listening to them as being “wide open to cryptofash”?
But yes, you are certainly right about the state of the left in the USA and I am saying this from the outside. It is terrible here - at least severely fragmented with no serious ML party - but “MAGA communism” was not something we had heard of until recently, being taken seriously by the party I have mentioned.
