googoogahgah/ultraleft is kind of funny sometimes, but every so often you just stumble on such a simple conversation in the comments you just think: how did these people find that subreddit.

Do I even want to know what an ultra is?

You should definitely investigate some more. Not the meme sub, but like leftwing critiques.

Ultras are basically people who demand immediate utopia and want to disregard all of history. They disregard current material conditions and believe the working class can simply will communism into existence whenever they feel like it.

When ultra is used as a pejorative though it means something like purist. Like someone who believes in a pure, untainted version of communism that exists outside of any historical movements or current political formations. “True communism has never been tried” is their catchphrase.
