Pretty disgusting ideology. They seem to support a new murderous dictator or genocidal terror group every month, have little regard for the human rights of non-Westerners, and oppose policies that actually help the Western workers they care about because the policies are not perfectly socialist or whatever.

This exactly.

Honestly, I would be OK with True Leftists if they would just stick to domestic economic issues, where they tend to be naive and useless, but they at least have their heart in the right place. Foreign Policy True Leftism, on the other hand, is a force of evil that needs to be crushed. I seriously have more respect for neocons than from the "let's do nothing" crowd.

True Leftists are often selective in applying their principles. For example they seem to like Robespierre even though considering his guillotining of Hebert they are better off under the fascist neoliberal imperalist coporatist Obama regime than that True Leftist hero. Lincoln gets a pass even though he was willing to compromise over slavery until late into the war and was quite sympathetic to a colonization scheme.
