Try looking at it from our side. Day in, day out we get bombarded with disinformation (intentionally or not), and have had these same arguments day in, day out. I don’t think it’s particularly surprising when some communists become jaded and snappy over time, even if I think it’s counter-productive. The point on Sankara is apt, Sankara was just as good a person as many other demonized socialist leaders, but was not as heavily targeted due to Burkina Faso’s socialist project getting strangled in the crib, rather than flourishing and thus getting demonized.
