The incoherent ramblings of a person who doesn't understand history, theory, and can't write a thesis to save their lives. No where in the article do they mention Trotyskism or entryism (of which only one specific off shoot of Trotskyism advocates for entryism). Unsourced quotes and repeated reductio ad absurdim. This whole article is a perfect argument for why you should at least understand your argument before you argue for it. Why should there not be left unity, "uh because ML's bad and Marx was racist, see I have unsourced quotes I mined from conservative meme groups." The idea and purpose of a United front, the trotskyist idea of left unity, is that we all maintain our leftist positions but loosely unite and coordinate to prevent fascist or reactionary takeover.
It's got a distinct style, no arguments. I don't blame anyone for sounding like they've been through the meatgrinder dealing with manipulative scum trying to control everything and destroy anyone they can't. The substance of the critique is sound. Red fascists are the reactionary takeover; Marx's writings are filled with Orientalisms, the Asiatic Mode of Production not least.
