      we gotta stop rejecting absolutely everybody that hasn’t lived a fully leftist life or doesn’t think exactly alike

      it’s the easiest way to break up any leftist group tbh… just the smallest detail can rip a group apart it seems

      I’m willing to accept just about anyone if they’re for helping us dismantle this system and make the world an immensely better place

        What about the leftists who do want to dismantle every single person who doesn’t align with their form of leftism? Because I noticed this is usually what happens. Spaces get overtaken with people who are unwilling to do the slightest bit of self crit and then want to criticize other leftists and it drives people away as they become more insular. And frankly I hate organizing with people like that even if we agree on most things.

          generally i ignore them and their drama, but it seems like most people are just primed to fight instead and the cycle just continues

        we don’t reject people who show a willingness to try and learn or at least ask real questions, anyone who doesn’t isn’t worth the time, and should be bullied until they shut the fuck up, imo

          no, it’s about 65% of what you find on english speaking internet. Believing that chauvinist “leftists” aren’t the overwhelmingly majority of western leftists is self-delusion IMO.
