It wasn't gish-gallop, I had a clear set of questions to ask, to which you ignored.

MLs are Socialists. Stalinists are also Socialists. You do not have to agree with them, in any way, but pretending they are not Socialists is a rejection of Marx himself.

Capitalism is defined not strictly by an employer-employee relationship, but necessarily by Capital production, accumulation, and control via Capitalists in an M-C-M' circuit of commodity production. A worker state, controlled by the proletariat, is Socialist.

MLism enshrines a worker-state, and a rejection of Capitalism as the basis mode of prodiction. You can agree more with Anarchism, Libertarian Socialism, Syndicalism, Democratic Socialism, and even think MLism evil, all while recognizing it correctly as Socialist.

Have you read Marx? Critique of the Gotha Programme might help you understand Leftism a bit better.
