"The masses in any given place are generally composed of three parts, the relatively active, the intermediate and the relatively backward. The leaders must therefore be skilled in uniting the small number of active elements around the leadership and must rely on them to raise the level of the intermediate elements and to win over the backward elements." -Mao Tse Tung "Some Questions Concerning Methods of Leadership" (June 1, 1943), Selected Works, Vol. III, p. 118.
Patriotism is a tool Communists can use to bring the backwards masses forward. One doesn't even need to feel the patriotism themselves to see the gains in class consciousness amongst the conservative members of the working class.

How these guys seem to think we will have any sort of "socialism" when fash are allowed to be loud and proud and white supremacy is actively encouraged is never explained. I know why they don't explain it, but it doesn't explain why they think we are stupid enough to fall for their "Third Way" like this.
