My fault for going on twitter BUT WHAT THE FUCK DOES “BEING A STALINIST” MEAN IN FUCKING 2022? This is basically shit stirring against an imaginary boogeyman

    I mean, most communists :10000-com:% also do this with Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc. It's a pretty understandable response to have a sense of camaraderie with past movements and revolutionaries.

    That being said, to even it out a little, the anarchists in my area tend to be a) the only ones bothering with mutual aid, which I think is important, and b) the only ones that show up to stuff like Indigenous solidarity rallies (I tend to see the Trots most often at anti-war or foreign policy-related actions).

    Hell yes, I've noticed that too. Anarchists also tend to almost always be intersectional. Pretty hard to be a class reductionist if you're Anarchist, because you already see The State as another axis of oppression.
