I hope their own community critiques this and holds themselves to a higher standard because this “Communists just as bad as Nazis” talking point doesn’t help anyone on the left. I know in my country, most real-life anarchists are anarcho-communists (and they are decent to talk to IRL about Marxism), so this online kiddie shit sucks.
I seriously hope. In Poland there were some based anarchists long ago, but for few years there are mostly larpers and squatters variety. And both are as anticommunist as average PiS fan. Maybe even more because 90% of arguments for PiS i heard in the real world are praising not the PiS neoliberalism (the real thing) but the PiS populism (the fig leaf over the neoliberalism, but all other parties including succdems don’t even have this fig leaf).
