Before I go do my own research I'm asking it here as I know I will potentially get further reading recommendations and such.

What is the ultra-left/ultras? I've seen a couple of mentions here over the past few months I've been on and never got to asking. I imagine it has something to do with ideological purity regarding ML, but that's about it and even that is just an assumption.

People who claim to be communists but denounce all socialist states for not being communist enough. Generally ultra-left organizations are run by anti-communist using leftist language and aesthetics. They don't criticize or analyze Existing Socialism they rebuke it and insist they are traitors. They love failed socialist projects because their goal is to maintain the status quo not bring about communism. They are communists in rhetoric and aesthetic but anti-communist in their word and actions.
