Like my core question here is, are the majority of patsocs MLs lead astray into social reaction? And without the patsoc grift theyd be good MLs?

Or are they fash at heart who are doing faux-leftism because it was suggested to them?

Or would it be something else?

Nah, they were just national chauvinists that liked the red aestetic

And without the patsoc grift theyd be good MLs?

For a bit maybe until they said something reactionary like what led to the creation of patsocs

Or are they fash at heart who are doing faux-leftism because it was suggested to them?

i think they just follow whats popular, not every reactionary becomes a fascist like mussolini going from a socialist to a fascist.

Some are like browder and just become wreckers, or like the CPB and just become normal reactionaries like being transphobes.
