    The only way to achieve revolution is to put aside our differences and unite together as leftists and then after we overthrow capitalism we can then debate on what form of government to replace it with

    I used to be of this opinion. I came to it originally as an Anarcho-Communist right after coming from Anarcho-Capitalism, but I posed it as “put aside our differences and unite together as anarchists” and implied that ancaps and ancoms could work together against “statism”. Then, after joining a community that was pointedly about left unity, it became the sentiment written in the article. It’s really all about trying to be a ‘centrist’ on the left, trying to make those who understand the differences between the authoritarian and the anarchist feel in the wrong for insisting that Marxism and Anarchism are entirely incompatible. The people who tend to say this, in my experience, also tend to use the term “democratic socialist” to describe their ideology group.
