What I’m saying is the Marxist statements are entirely irrelevant once they agreed to run in an election.

No. Lenin advocated participation in bourgeois elections for the reasons I gave, delegitimizing the electoral system and advertising strength and the platform.

They never grew up out of their Marxist phase in college, have no idea how any of this works, and it shows.

What is a “Marxist phase?” You have no idea what they are trying to do or why, and you make up in your mind palace contradictory positions they don’t hold because you haven’t read Marx.

Marxist Phase - The typical college obsession before people actually grow up and realize it’s all nonsense.

See also: Randian phase.

Some people grow out of it, some don’t.

You seem to think you’ve got Marxism all figured out for someone that can’t seem to grasp the basics of it. Mind explaining what about Marxism is “all nonsense?”

It’s great in theory, but it doesn’t actually work in real life. It never has. This is why people look at these Marxists trying to run in a Presidential election and just point and laugh.

It’s an angsty philosophy for young people who haven’t learned better yet.
