You’ll see anarchists praising Rosa Luxemburg, who if they had actually read her writings – they would see that she was very clearly one of the “authoritarian” socialists that they rail against so much.

You see them praise the Black Panthers, who were supported financially by the DPRK and aligned themselves with the Juche ideology of Kim Il Sung.

They even praise Thomas Sankara, who purged anarchists and arrested syndicalists.

If these people had succeeded, i have no doubt in my mind that anarchists would call them “tankies,” they would call their experiments “capitalism with a red flag.” And I also have no doubt in my mind that if the October Revolution, Chinese Revolution had been crushed, they would hail Lenin and Mao as proletarian heroes.

    The sectarianism is annoying (inshallah for Hexbear federation to bully the sectarians), but the narrative about MLs regularly teaming up with anarchists only to stab them in the back turns out to be bullshit when investigated.

      Btw an anarchist from blahaj coming here and complaining about sectarianism is mighty rich when a 80% of entire lemmy modlog bans are people banned from there for being “tankie” - specifically interesting since their comments for which they are banned are not specified, that is, they haven’t been banned for anything concrete.

      Also preempive fishing for a ban, lol, how old they even are?

          Can you just spare yourself an utter embarrasment and block us or better yet, create an account on instance which have defederated from us if that’s so important to you?

          that will not spread misinformation about my political beliefs from ones that will.

          That’s incredibly hypocritical of you to say after what you wrote in this thread.
