Beware of any organization that has goals or is organized or is trying to accomplish anything

I'm part of a communist org and I don't exaggerate when I say that black nationalists have been more friendly and willing to work with us than anarchists have.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES AUTHORITARIAN MEAN YOU PEOPLE NEVER DEFINE IT ITS JUST AN ADJECTIVE MEANT TO SIGNIFY "BAD FOREIGN GOVERNMENT" ITS DUMB AS FUCK INTERROGATE YOUR OWN VOCABULARY

Deeply unserious. The difference between being against unjust hierarchies and being against all hierarchies should be obvious. One is nuanced and critical. The other is contrarian at best and outright reactionary at worst.

I personally think of the anti-sectarianism rule as more of a "play nice with each other" rule. I think people forget, the whole reason there are sects is because there are actual strong disagreements between tendencies, sometimes intractable ones.

I think the enforced cooperation between MLs and anarchists here have caused some people to talk themselves into thinking anarchists are just MLs with punk aesthetics when that's not really true. There's actual conflict between the two ideologies and they tend not to get along great everywhere besides here. All for working together when possible but I don't think we should delude ourselves into thinking the two are 100% compatible, if they were they wouldn't be separated in the first place.

The very millisecond I see the word ''authoritarian'' being used unironically, I'm done. Everything turns into a complete disregard for anything that was said prior to it, and could be said afterward. Deeply unserious word. It is in fact one of the most charged liberal words in existence, along with ''autocracy'', ''human rights'', ''regime'', ''dictator'' and you guys know the rest. It's one of the most heavy lifting words in the liberal idiom. One drop of it in a sentence, and a liberal mind will construct the rest.

I identify as an anarchist. I see it both as an aspirational goal--a stateless, classless, non-hierarchical society, which I think we all agree on as the ultimate objective--and as tactical guide in the face of overwhelming capitalism. Self-organized mutual aid and voluntary affinity groups can and do get shit done, even in the absence of any kind of widespread socialist (or even leftist) movement or power structure. Most of the anarchists I know in real life are more focused on actually trying to make the world better than on sectarian struggle, but I think the ones who care more about purity and less about praxis are more numerous and vociferous online. The good ones are out doing shit, not making Instagram series. The same is true for most MLs I've met: maybe the difference in philosophy will matter at some point way down the road when revolution is in progress, but that's so far in the future that it almost doesn't bear thinking about, much less starting a fight over. For now, we all have exactly the same goals.

There are literal children arguing in those comments. That whole post is rage bait

1st Paragraph: "Hmm yeah I can agree there's some issues with people being overly dogmatic when we don't really know what will lead to a successful revolution in a modern imperialist country"

2nd Paragraph:

Folx, I’m really worried that some of y’all are not talking about the real problem at hand, the people fighting for a Palestinian state! What they should really be fighting for is the abolition of the Palestinian state so they can be truly free.

“What? You’re asking me to condemn the Israeli state? I’m not sure what that has to do with anything. Do you know how they treat gay people in Palestine btw?”

I keep seeing this 'One-size-fits-all' as an insult. Yes, in fact, having a plan and sticking to the plan with moderate variation is a good idea. Noone has ever said that 'one-size-fits-all', but some plans have actually idk, accomplished something?

our enemies use guns so using guns is bad don't use guns also don't drink water

"I'm just gonna stop any attempt at a scientific understanding of capital and power dynamics to make sure that communists don't organize too many people at once."

The class war is a war like any other, and most wars I know of were won by having a clear plan of battle and strong leadership.

Bed time is bourgeois!

they are your closest allies if you can reach them by UNDERSTANDING their instincts against "authoritarianism" (and how that is inculcated by western propaganda) and treating it as a positive impulse that is being channeled negatively by capitalists against communists instead of against the capitaist class as a way to get natural allies to fight each other and never gain power.

Power Dynamics

Oh boy it's so bad... and sadly this reads like most of the stuff I ever hear from revisionists around these parts.

almost sectarian posted and then thought about it for a bit and decided that i was about to post cringe

Maybe they should offer some answers to people’s problems so they wouldn’t be drawn to tankies? Seems a bit easier to do than to complain about them
