To understand and define ultra-leftism, it is helpful to also analyze its twin:
opportunism. These terms must be worked concretely.

One learns new isms all the time. Incidentally what is the difference
between left-wing communism and left-wing-left-wing communism?
[mbs] the same as the difference between overdone and
burnt to a cinder.

The usual defining feature of ultra-leftism is a refusal to work with
"bourgeois" leftists -- and of course by pushing one's defintion of
"the left" far enough to the right, it would be possible to accuse
someone with ultra-leftism for refusing to work with Pat Buchanan.
[mbs] true enough, but obviously the question is what is
'too far' and what is not far enough.
