These are Leninists who believe that socialism cannot do imperialism because socialism is ideological manifest destiny. Nevermind that this was more or less one of the original debates between Trotsky and Lenin on how do do "global communism."

They like to redefine words to carry whatever ideological weight they want, because it's much easier than introspection. Like how they will carry the "Nazi means anti-Russian" banner to unironically defend mass deportation children from Ukraine. "Obviously it can't be the UN definition of genocide, because you can't genocide Nazis.

I wish I was making this up...
