The amount of Ultras and naive leftists on supposedly Communist/Marxist Subreddits is driving me crazy.

Reddit - The heart of the internet
Before anyone gets snarky with a "stop using reddit" I barely use the site so please don't test my nerves. However on the brief occasions I browse it for a skim of the "left" political climate, I consistently attempt to put forward genuine analysis.
Yet right now I would like to briefly rant about how infuriating supposed "Communists" can be. These people see a "mass" demonstration and forget the cardinal rule that the one who obtains power during mass unrest will always be the forces which have the most resources and, most importantly, are the most well organized.
The labor unions in Iran, though somewhat well organized from my understanding, are still not at a level where they could contest a change in goverment. The existence of socialist consciousness is not at all present, let alone a vanguard to guide a revolution.
The only faction which holds the resources (money and arms), the political clarity (Allegiance to imperialists), and the organization (an entire underground industry) to take advantage of the power vaccum which would be left by the government's fall is the US and Israel aligned forces who seek to turn the country into another Syria or Libya.
I can handle baby leftists saying ignorant lib bullshit, it's a simply an exercise in persuasion. However when self avowed Communists are tripping over this hurdle, then I'm enraged.
Someone not being ready to digest Marxist analysis is forgivable, but someone who is assured in their clearly broken Marxist analysis is genuinely blood boiling.
