    It really raised an eyebrow when I saw this. I expect better of them. They cover more ongoing and upcoming demonstrations than a lot of the media - including fringe leftist media. Sure, they take ultra-left positions on certain issues that I consider to be counterproductive, but it is balanced out by the coverage they provide. Many of these struggles would come and go completely unrecorded without sites like IGD.

    This was over the top though. If they want to be ultras, fine. If they want to make the argument that Marxism-Leninism is a trap, or a deviation from the "correct" path towards liberation, fine. But make the fucking argument. Become familiar with what you are criticizing and dismantle it systematically. If you think "Tankies" are a problem because they violate principles you consider to be non-negotiable, say that. Don't do this shit. Don't tell me Nazis are just Tankies with a different flag. It is completely ahistorical and it demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the hierarchy Anarchists seek to dismantle.
