Does it ever occur to you that mandating a mastery of an esoteric vocabulary and history as the first step toward being elligible for ‘left-unity’… is not exactly appealing to, or a reasonable expectation for prospective new members of such a ‘left-unity’ broad social movement?
Are you trying to be an elitist clique, or a movement that broadly represents large masses of poor, tired, busy, overworked, poorly educated people?
You’ve been talking down to me this entire time and you claim to have degrees in both economics and political science, and you’re now complaining that I’m being elitist for pointing out that you’re not actually familiar with my ideology in any depth?
(Which anyone with a decent understanding of Marx would know, and therefore avoid using the word in a description of Marxist goals.)

So you also don’t know what “esoteric” means? Interesting.

I would expect someone trying to criticize something to have the most basic familiarity with it, yes.
