Just to point out the obvious - they always have eaten their own. Just look at what happens in communist countries. They’re all far leftist in there and even the rightest will say they support socialism as more fair than capitalism but those in power will change definitions and terms and shift the rules so they’re “more woke” than the others.
Exactly. You nailed that one. They eat their own, and they always go after the one not woke enough. Just a natural part of the Communist power struggle internally.
