I think you're making the same error you're trying to call out. Sorting through the flurry of insults, your core complaint is that Marxist-Leninists don't see nuance. I think this is disingenuous, Marxism-Leninism has strong theoretical foundations that are logically consistent. Similarly, you flip from the strawman that "everyone that isn't an ML is a fascist" to your own assertion that everyone is fascist, or at least it appears that's your claim. I don't really think you have a clear conception of what constitutes fascism, or if you do it isn't readily apparent, same with Imperialism.

I think if you want to understand MLs more you could probably be served better by trying to work from an initial place of trying to understand why MLs think the way they do, rather than trying to come up with post-hoc justifications.
