"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Why is there a division between Left Socialists/Communists and Left Libertarians?
It boils down to Left Libertarians being unwilling to give up their current position in life. That was acquired through Imperialism.
When I was much younger someone told me: "You know, we really tried to help the Africans, we built apartments for them, but they just leave and go back to their huts!! What can we do?"
And I'm like: "Why the F are we still meddling in Africa's business? Y'all keep talking about how evil the Soviet Union was for Overstaying their welcome and maybe it was a big blunder, cause they couldn't sustain themselves against USA and now every single socialist achievement is attributed to Capitalism and every single flaw is attributed to Communism, but at least the very least they did educate people."
A lot of this just hasn't been studied, historical events have been almost entirely black holed from our collective consciousness. We are being kept in the dark, including by the left libertarians, who are demonizing currently existing socialist experiments and they're stealing valor.
They're also using the 3rd world as hostages and then blaming everyone else for not saving the hostages.
