Dont take pontius pilate -"all lives matter" like stances regarding states no matter the circumstances while existing in a world of dozens smaller states dominated and terrorised by the US empire, especially hamstringing the majority of anti-imperialist efforts. Yeah imperialism is gonna be ennacted and facilitated through and against nation states, good luck with "all states bad ,i support no one" approach
Dont do unironic horseshoe theory of "MLs arent left and are right wingers" or even worse "fascists"
Dont base your current perception of who is or isnt your ally around a victim complexe of "X ideology looks to kill me and will snd me to teh Gulag cause stuff that happened 100 years ago in completely different circustances"
Dont belite the experience ,achievements and agency of hundreds of millions of people in modern history that believed and followed "authoritarian" ideologies and make up lies of "the MLs brainwashed and took advantage of them and their struggle to control them "
Dont be a chomsky anarchist with all the weird takes that entails
