Leftist Cosplayers

Real politik,
you need a few trotskyites who isn't a disruptive turboautists to join your group
Preferably ones who are long established in the backroom politics of their respective orgs
This opens back channel communications and they'll help screen the wreckers out
In all honesty this is probably already happening somewhat organically under the radar

That's because groups like the IMT are openly for entryism and working within Labour to push it left, while the actual parties like the SP and SWP rejected entryism after militant was purged and prefer to engage in their own doomed electoralism so they're stubbornly insisting their members shouldn't join Labour (which hasn't stopped a substantial part of their membership to resign and join labour instead after Corbyn won).

The function of the aestheticization is to allow the individual to perform an identity that can then be used to accrue reputation and a social circle when done correctly. This doesn't require that you believe in anything or do anything to realize the goal of the political view; you need only repeat the correct slogans and signs.

As a result, the various "leftist" labels often function more as consumer identities that can be exploited by advertisers. Importantly, aestheticization prioritizes performance, outward displays of affliation, thus few will hide their political affiliation for whom the affiliation is also a personal identity.


Zig Forums can be criticized for a number of things, but it really doesn't allow for the specific phenomenon in the OP, simply due to how an imageboard functions as a system and as a a culture. Without resorting to strongly discouraged means like names, trips, avatars, and self-promotion, no reputation can be formed. Even with those means, only a few are ever established, and there is little endogenous incentive to merely perform the identity for the sake of others or to adopt a political view as an aesthetic.

Historically the various parties of the internationals at least prior to the 4th kept the youth wing separate from the party proper

Perhaps there might be a reason they did this?

You shouldn't want incompetent fags to shit it up, but that doesn't mean that you should recruit on merit, when it comes to young people in leadership

*shouldn't

My party has also a separate youth organization, although you can already join the party with 16 years. Recently I've met some people from the youth organization and I was quite surprised, what kind of people consider themself as youth: Everybody was around 25 and refused for some reason to leave the youth organization, to join afterwards the party. I simply don't understand this. The world is on fire, but my potential comrades don't want to grow up.
