Ross Wolfe tackles Domenico Losurdo’s work as “a new school of falsification, all in service of justifying the course history has taken. Everything he wrote had to align with the geopolitical interests of [a] few nominally socialist states […]”

    Of course it’s a Bordigist rag, lmao. It’s a western Marxist salty as hell that Losurdo had him dead to rights. Utter slop, ultraleftism is just an excuse for those that would rather not actually do the hard work organizing and instead spend all day critiquing society.

        They quote Bordiga, and in this article are attacking AES and those who uphold it, at minimum they are ultraleft.

          What does the ultraleft think about left political parties being involved in bourgeois democracy, e.g., parliament?

            The ultraleft isn’t a monolith, they are largely incoherent, actually, which is why they have so many tendencies.

              Which ultraleft tendencies support working within bourgeois parliaments, winning elections, etc?

                Depends on the org, again, ultraleftism is inherently incoherent and undisciplined. There’s a lot of variance between ultraleft orgs, from straight Bordigists to Eurocomms to left-comms, etc.
