Putting aside that you’re completely ignoring my actual point and that this is a completely irrelevant tangent, yes, actually, I do. Both groups tend to denounce any revolution that’s actually successful because it doesn’t match the ideal in their head. Both have a similar concept of “permanent revolution.” Really the major difference I see between them is attitude and branding. At the end of the day, both ideologies are about placing unrealistic demands on existing socialist projects and then denouncing them when they don’t live up to them, one of them just hates Stalin more.

Yes
That’s what you got from that?
