It is our duty to provide critique. Marx said it best himself: "a ruthless critique of everything existing," which includes socialism/communism. We critique not to expose 'injustice.' Rather, we critique to reveal how it's possible for states like the US or China to both exist, to both have a legitimate claim on the legacy of Marxism, to both foreshadow and doom the revolution needed to abolish both of them. One's social identities have nothing to do with this duty. We all must critique from our diverse points of view, and those critiques must be summed up and given direction in an independent workers' party.
