This Tweet isn’t a patsoc one so much as a “maybe later kiddo” one. Or, if we give it the benefit of the doubt, it is criticism of woke imperialism, which he’s written about before.
Garrido seemed to be the least odious of the Midwestern Marxists, but instead of splitting from them, he signed the Declaration of the American Communist Party along with other patsoc & nazbol grifters.
