It’s a tale as old as time of Anarchists absolutely shitting all over communists but god damn I hateeeee it. No self awareness
Edit: to be clear I don’t have a problem with Anarchists, just seems like very often MLs are met with so much vitriol with people they could collaborate with. Just sucks. Stupid interner
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.
Counterpoint: anarchists whose primary enemy is communists are actually feds
Could you elaborate on intractable problems between anarchist and ML ideologies, please? I ask as someone ignorant of the history of the two movements outside of killing aristocrats and Nazis. I recognize a name like Mao and how the central planning government worsened famine conditions and caused excess death. I recognize anarchist concepts like dual power and mutual aid.
I imagine systemic intractability if it came to things like a draft to fight against capitalist powers or the assignment of labor tasks/location. To avoid jokerfication, I have to believe that there are more salient disagreements between the good faith, acting, theory tempered adherents of both ideologies. Opinions about vets helping in struggle? Stealing? Escalating resistance during protest? Electoralism? Powers of a club’s electorate? Punishment of group members? Vocel oathes? Religion?
Bonus question: would somebody who has ingested enough Hexbear slop be uniquely equipped in meditating between the polar tendencies of communists or are we spinning our wheels here?
