There's a bunch of "leftists" who are basically like if you took someone with vaguely left-wing values, but created their understanding of history and the world entirely from capitalist propaganda. So you end up with people who might be "communist," but also believe the most influential historical communists are all bad because their understanding of history/reality was derived from living in the imperial core.

they are "basically like" that because that's exactly what happened to them, they have been propagandized from childhood to only hear the bad things about anyone to the left of Nixon and to scrub out all the anti-capitalist things from anyone too big to be erased under that model.
