I’m gonna disagree with some people here and say this isn’t the anarchists’ faults, it’s genuine spook shit where the political establishment felt threatened by a rising left tide so they’re trying to drive a wedge between different groups and promote sectarianism. There isn’t a unified left party now like there was with the Panthers, all of our modern success has been disorganized, pan-left movements with no real organization. The tactics to disrupt it have to change so they’re trying to play up the lefty infighting to keep us from actually coalescing into a cohesive front.
Don’t hate your comrades and remember that anything not happening in real life should be incredibly suspect
I'm an anarchist, and online I'm fine to talk to MLs, and I've learned a lot about anti imperialism from them, but IRL none of the local ML or Trotskyist groups are worth organizing with, since they're (true to stereotype) control freaks. The exception is a local university ML group that runs along anarchist lines and has a libertarian bent because of its abolitionist politics.
I don't think it's an op, I think there are genuine differences between anarchists and marxists (especially the older ones, pro prison ones and electoral entryists) that get exaggerated in the internet's acoustics of conflict.
