I can't commit to a new site when I hear all these horror stories about anarchist chapo admins mocking, silencing and banning communists. I need to know that this will be a left unity project and that sectarianism won't be tolerated. That I won't be attacked for defending China / NK. That I won't be called a "tankie" for explaining that gulags were a progressive form of justice. That liberals spreading imperialist propaganda about the Uighurs or Honk Kong reactionaries will be shut down immediately and not given room to breathe. The MLs in the chapo community need the admins and mods to make us these promises so we can trust this site and devote our time to posting here.

    the very fact that you referred to us as tankies first shows ur bias, tent communities always end up being exclusionary towards MLs. anarchists love to throw around terms like "jacketing" when the prop that they bought into is called out. good luck with the community .

            no one self identifies as a tankie unless there are anarchists trying to pose it as a derogatory

              I think the term "tankie" is pretty cringe, but many people do, in fact, self-identify by it. I see it all the time, especially in the chapo-sphere.

                  Yeah you were one of the people I specifically had in mind who uses it to self identify :)
