It's gotten to the point where even the mildest effective leftism will have at least one idiot crying tankie.
I've seen a lot of anarchists get called tankies even.

It's fitting how I see this thread immediately after coming from an Instagram post with this meme:
The comments are what you'd expect, including people accusing "tankies" of being "functionally right-wing" 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Sectarianism is a poison that I can't see as anything such. I feel like it perks up from people wanting to have a clique with a "kewl" aesthetic instead of upholding genuine leftist principles.
I have gotten to a point where I, an anarcho-communist, have just started calling myself a "communist" more than an "anarcho-communist" or "anarchist" alone because I don't want people to think that I have beef with Marxists. I only want to kiss them actually
Sometimes, I even just say "leftist" to be even more broad, but it might be a mistake because even succdems apply that term to themselves somewhat often, so once again: 🤮🤮🤮🤮
At the end of the day, when I'm more concerned about capitalists, fascists, imperialists, reactionaries, etc. trying to crush this world, I functionally don't have much time to bicker over the means of achieving communism that much, even though I have my own opinions about that subject.
The only word that isn’t poisoned is communism. The libs will never co-opt that; the brain worms run too deep. They have taken left, leftism, socialism, anarchism...you know what must be done.
