      I mean, I guess, maybe? I think Marxism-Leninism is a fucked up ideology, but I don’t categorically doubt the sincerity of MLs. They’d probably put any sudden windfall towards some sort of vanguard party centralized power bullshit that they think will eventually lead to communism, as is consistent with their ideas.

      As an anarchist, I don’t think that would be a good use of the money, but I don’t have any particular reason to believe that they’d be more hypocritical about it than any other communist or leftist.

        Everyone is a communist/anarchist when they’re poor.
