    Haha I’d never heard that take before. I’m curious about two things. 1) How do you define MLs? 2) What would real socialism entail? I’m guessing with those answers I should have a good idea what you’re talking about.

      1. Anyone who self-identifies as an ML, such as the part mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_the_Russian_Federation

      2. Workers being in control of the means of production, like actually not in some “the party represents the workers BS”.

      • cooperatives & unions control job sites - real unions not yellow unions
      • workers control the economy via some real mechanism not 1 party elections with per-determined outcomes (Could be state-less - e.g Anarchy, could be state-full e.g some form of democratic socialism, will probably be a mix of both)
      • the people that work farms control them and are not forced to give back the farms to capitalists like the USSR did in Spain.
