Fortunately, those who join or abandon popular struggles because they fit or not some ideological preconception tend to be few and far between. Those folks tend to congregate in small propaganda clubs, call themselves parties, and have a marginal impact on the struggles. Not everything they do is terrible, but the fate of popular struggles is not determined by them.
