Basically, bunch of pro-Ukraine, pro-fascism and state dept line loving anarchists attacked an anti-war demonstration with incredibly based anti-imperialist and codepink founder Medea Benjamin.
Comments in the linked subreddit are worth reading for some highlights from the article (Trueanon is hilariously much more principled ML than deprogram sub on most days)

People say anarchists in real life are better, it’s only the online ones who are liberals… nope. These people are total shills for the state department narrative. Totally useful tools against America’s enemies.
This is your brain on only caring about “authoritarianism” without understanding authority and letting the US state dept and bourgeois press (along with compromised anarchist media like your favorite zine courtesy of the FBI) define what authoritarian means and give you the scales of most and least authoritarian governments.
And these people are shocked when we denounce left unity. As if they did not denounce it first with violence against us.
Granted. I’m not saying all of them ever have been bad. Just that especially in the US and anglosphere in general they have serious issues in the modern day.
Does anybody knows some good sources of where anarchism “went wrong”? I know it could be argued that was always like that but I’m really interested in learning how the currently-prevalent flavor of the West’s extreme “tankie”-dunking, terminally online, utterly unprincipled anarkiddies came about. I have heard from here and there that this is encouraged by the FBI and other such agencies. Not looking for liberal sources.
A certain georgian poet and labor organizer wrote a bit about just that during his youth.
Oh yeah. Good ol’ Joey
