I mean, obviously we agree here which is why we’re both arguing anti-sectarianism. But anarchists haven’t exactly gone around mass killing MLs, or backstabbing them. Maybe I’m misreading the history, but that seems like a real part of it. MLs joke about it, anarchists worry about it, I casually mention it. Again, I could be misreading history, but I find it important to mention, basically, the main material outcomes of sectarianism that we’ve seen
those examples are the exceptions in front of the millions of anarchists that worked very well with communists historicaly and supported communist projects
And I totally agree. That’s why I believe sectarianism, and frankly even ‘tendency sioling’ is kinda absurd today. I mean, another commenter has even pointed out that modern anarchists have mostly synthesized an acknowledgement of the need for a dictatorship of the proletariat.
Maybe I shouldn’t have brought it up, my apologies. But it’s definitely a part of the conversation, whether we think it shouldn’t be or not. I’ve literally had ML chapos say that they’ll kill me when the revolution comes because they identify me as an anarchist (I’m not)
