Political cults are alive and well. We need to identify what they are and know their history so that we can avoid the pitfalls of cults and cult-like behaviour.
Political cults that purport to be left-wing seem like such a minor thing to worry about. The LaRouchite & PatSoc & Infrared cults have never grown to any significance.
All three of the examples I reviewed are based on or inspired by a branch of the Leninist tradition
Oh, I see. Whatever you do, stay away from Marxism-Leninism, the only socialist tradition that has proven successful thus far 🙄

I think their significance is actually pretty high for those affected or indoctrinated by those cults.

How do you define success? Being a great blue print for cults? Like every(okay not every single one) Leninist group in my area seems to just one sex pest scandal away from turning into a legitimite cult
(Also I usually associate Marxism Leninism with Stalinism, while Leninism is for me something different from that.)

Ah, so you’re just talking out your ass.

lol this is exactly what I expected, some statistic about live expectancy or literacy rate. I kinda get that, but its a perspective that I dont really care about. Because its the states perspective.
And I thought we would atleast agree that the so called USA is fucked up and just shitty. Why would you want to compare yourself with that? Its like a really low bar to clear and atleast for me not a sign of success.
