This is just nonsense, "Tankies" famously support countries that have had revolutions (which clearly haven't magically fixed everything). Pulling off a revolution obviously involves putting in a lot of work organizing, maintaining AES after revolution takes a lot of work, and successfully changing the mode of production takes an enormous amount of effort. The Hexbear line is that everyone should join an org and do real work.
Internet posters are also real people, and ML real people do real organizing. I've spent decades, probably in the 10s of thousands of hours, organizing and engaging in mutual aid in my local community, and my work has seen real results.
And just because we don't believe elections will solve our fundamental problems, it doesn't mean we're just sitting around for a magic solution. To give notable examples of real change in the current system, the PSL was really active in stopping a data center from being built in Tucson, and communists were really active in supporting civil rights and racial equality, even way back in the 20s all the way to the civil rights movement, and then all the way to now.
There just aren't many of us in the United States, so you might not see us organizing, and a revolution might seem impossible (but unlike Rapture, it is very possible).
Yeah, some people like there to be few leftists, and it's not the ML's.
