Nazis co-opt socialist language all the time, it’s important that we call this out, not bow out and cede the point to them, we shouldn’t be “reactionaries for the reactionaries”. Patsocs are just a variation of the same thing, using vaguely socialist language to push for Fascism. They aren’t “leading” anything, they’re scavenging the scraps of socialist thought to cover their reprehensible ideology in something more appealing. They only get any sort of influence at all because they are a useful trap for anyone starting to learn about leftist thought who won’t be able to spot them as the obvious POS they are.
