Lenin
No, most of them don’t even like Lenin because he seized power in a coup and did non-absolutely perfect stuff as the first leader of an actual socialist state.

Well there was Bordiga, who was described as "more Leninist than Lenin".

Ultras and leftcoms in unions are hard to work with. Luckily(?), they don't last long.
Go on strike with small union presence, maybe half of which actually joins the action, if you're fortunate.
Win something.
The ultras and left coms leave because the strike didn't lead to twenty-third century fully automated luxury communism. Then they cross the picket line the next time the union takes action and sneer at the striking workers for their betrayal.
Alternatively, they stay in the union and accept no compromises because nothing but full capitulation of the bourgeoisie is good enough. Then proceed to make empty statements about never surrendering, undermining every plan that might build some of the solidarity necessary to achieve exactly that.
Worse than liberals. Worse than neoliberals, who sometimes join unions and sometimes even pickets. And those that don't are happy to be consistently against unions, so at least you know what they're up to. Maybe I'm just bitter.
Advice: if you spot ultra or leftcom in a union, try to make them see things from a proper historical materialist viewpoint before the striking kicks off.

In other words, they're dogmatic.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities
go to feed...

Basically if you're a communist you're already on the left. So if you're to the left of communists, what are you? An ultra communist.
They're the people who can usually recite whole quotes by heart and have bookmarks and notes in all their books. But when it comes to translating that theory into the real world, nothing is ever good enough because it doesn't follow what Lenin or Bordiga wrote to the letter. They're the embodiment of if you can't do it perfectly, then don't do anything at all.
