So, since coming here, I've been accosted left and right by ML's calling me a Lib for not being a ML. Essentially that's what it's come down to.

My personal philosophy aligns with Bakunin, Kropotkin, and Bookchin. I consider myself an Anarcho-Communist or Communalist, depending on the situation, I suppose.

I firmly oppose fascism and authoritarianism. I believe in direct democracy and the inherent goodness of humanity.

I really thought that I had found a place where leftist thought was going to be welcomed, but so far I have not found it here. All I've found are hateful people who want me to leave.

Like I said elsewhere, it's almost as if they don't want new people to join their cause. Like they're actively pushing people away who could have the potential to learn, and who have explicitly come here to learn and to engage in good faith.

I just don't get it. I feel like our cause will never come to fruition because of these types of attitudes.

    He was already banned for using "tankie" as an insult constantly. He was unbanned and told to knock it off. Now it seems he's switched to "red fash", which is objectively way worse.

    He thinks he's avoiding sectarianism because he just calls ML leaders and states "red fash", but then avoids it with users of the site that align with those same leaders and states. Ridiculous behaviour.

    Almost everything this guy has done so far has been sectarian shit flinging, debatebro behavior, and making a huge mess. I'm not sure I buy the "good faith" thing.
