So this site has been keeping it's anarchist and ML(M) elements together cause of the sectarianism ban, right? What if we extended that ban to other things we are currently fighting about? Seriously this is out of fucking hand

(not trying to ban discussion of veganism as a whole, obviously, but im real tired of people getting worked up over food on the internet)

    I think the current interpretation of sectarianism privlages debates about dumb shit over debates over theory and actual politics. Anything significant enough to define a tendency receives extreme protection (except Trotskyism, which remains a punching bag), but you can be as divisive as you like over petty bullshit.

    The sectarianism rule was supposed to promote unity, but it just redirects the division, failing to achievt its goal while restricting users and preventing what could be productive discussion.
