They are mostly interested in theoretical analysis and debates in the American Left. They see Soviet history as having enough nuance wherein the admirable elements (the space program, cybernetics, etc) can and should be salvaged from the chaff of Stalinist excess. They highly esteem “Anatomy of a Micro-Sect” by Draper as a lens for analyzing the cults.
I find it frankly refreshing and far more interesting than the cult litanies.
