I'm suggesting this is cult-like behavior, yes. People (especially communists) criticize various Marxist thinkers as well as the positions of communist parties all the time. Of course I don't think every criticism is invalid. As far as I can tell, they're barely even doing any criticizing in the linked thread, they're just going "tankie warning!!! do not hang out with these people!!!".
I'm happy to say that wasn't the response I was expecting, but now I'm not sure what to do with my tankie pitchfork.
holy sh!t, this single thread was better than entire /r subs I have seen :-)
