While I disagree vehemently with ML communists. And let's just be respectful and call them that. The only reason they have the perceived mindshare that you're talking about. Is because they were useful dysfunctional tools for capitalists to use to misrepresent all of socialism*. ML communist were never that capable of commanding that mindshare in their own right
Authoritarian pigs deserve no respect.
I agree with that sentiment both left and right. Which is why I genuinely reject the lie that is free market capitalism and ML communism. A planned economy is fine. A command economy wielded by the tip of military weapons only salts the earth and leaves it bare. Much like the capitalists do.
