I'm all in for left unity and the such. But when i'm seeing ML's stomp on anarchists, i dont know what to think of them. Obviously, there are good ones, but i cant estimate the ratio of "good" vs. "bad" ones. Also, maybe they are just overrepresented in the online space? I'm literally surrounded by liberals and right wingnuts, so i couldnt really collect experience for the real life ones. Maybe someone explain me something? I dunno.

    Tell them to shut the fuck up and cope. That's what I'm about to start doing for both sides. I do not give a single fuck about which way a person swings in terms of anarchist vs ML. No one on the right has any issue siding with literal nazis to accomplish their goals but we're too worried about "wahhhh but tankie authoritarianism bad" and "wahhhh anarkiddie big dumb counterproductive". We can purge each other after the collapse of capitalism if it comes to that. If anyone genuinely gives a fuck enough to argue about this shit when we aren't even close to any of our ideologies actually being implemented, they're probably a liberal. Let them cry in their corner and give them no attention. The time spent giving them the slightest bit of attention could be better spent on radicalizing liberals, convincing people to arm themselves, getting involved within your own communities with volunteer work, or just shitposting.

        That's perfectly acceptable too. Someone has to do the grilling. 😎

        You don't have to thank me, I'm just not one to hold my tongue if I see people being obtuse, haha. I don't think it's larping if people are being toxic to each other based on their tendencies. It doesn't help that a lot of leftists over-subscribe to their tendency and turn it into a personality trait causing attacks on tendencies to be perceived as personal attacks, in my opinion.

        Personally, I try to keep an open mind to whatever leftist ideology or mixture of ideologies will best meet societal need following the inevitable collapse of capitalism. At this point, a drastically rising number of people are food insecure, dying from lack of healthcare, and homeless so it's hard to imagine that any type of leftist society wouldn't be better than what we currently have.

        That's my hot take. Take it or leave it. Everyone could learn to cope regardless, lmfao.

          we are on the same page. Im left neutral, i think ML and anarchists are both valid, but the people who attempt to shit on other leftists or paint other leftists as evil are annoying. Left unity or bust :)
