How to assimilate Marxism and make it serve reactionary, nationalist, bigoted, exclusionary, and anti-working class politics. A 9 part thread with pictures. 
1. Dig up ideologies developed by shady ex-Leninists who’ve embraced Right-Libertarianism, nationalism, class collaboration, xenophobia, reformist capitalism, and use anti-”PC” rhetoric to base-build with reactionaries and far right parties, but pretend it’s Marxist.
2. Find convincing thought leaders to promote this ideology while hammering at the liberal left. Lump together cartoonish neoliberal left views with anarchists, libcoms, and all other socialists outside the group while bolstering far right politics as “working class” and normal.
3. Appear in high profile left publications/podcasts, pushing them Right on the pretense of providing “class analysis” even as you promote capitalist borders as a mechanism of labor control, push capitalist development, center electoral politics, and promote red brown alliances.
4. Push reactionary recuperations of radical critiques. In print, on Fox News, podcasts, blogs, etc., repeat the mantra that all to your left are “liberals” and the far right are potential allies. Wear down resistance to the now unrecognizable appropriations of left ideas.
5. Present the new hybrids of far right, center, and left ideas openly and act as if this has always been what true socialism was about, even as your messaging starts to resemble a shooter’s manifesto’s mish mash of ideologies that can’t hold together.
6. Increase the dissemination of your reactionary ideology across the political spectrum, tailoring to right, left, and centrist audiences as needed.
7. Meet all criticisms by accusing those making them of being mentally ill, hysterical, or incapable of “nuance.” Alternatively, insist that they have never produced any critiques of your politics and that you only wish they would so you had someone to debate.
8. Once you’ve smeared those to your left as “radlibs” and those to your right as “liberals,” close ranks and exclude them from the new “true socialism.” At this point it’s safe to drop the pretense of being Marxist, socialist, or on the political Left. You’ve won.
That's it. The first tweet was part 1 of 9 so there are 8 numbered theses. Thank you!
