    Anticommunism aside, since when were MLs pushing for left unity?

      There used to be big tedious threads on /r/chapotraphouse basically along the lines of the thread we’re dunking on (including plenty directed by MLs against anarchists). After enough of that shit and petty name-calling, most people were really sick of the infighting and it was decided that cth would be a left unity space.

      While the subreddit was alive, the ratio of Anarchists to MLs waxed and waned but there was always a reasonably big contingent of both and other types of leftists to boot. I think more of the MLs made it over to Hexbear, but the left unity rule remains in place because fuck infighting.

      Personally I’m all for left unity because I’ve learned a lot from Anarchist comrades and it’s nice not see so much mud slinging.
