They have Lemmygrad and will have to go thru the same development period we went thru, they're peacocks you have to let them fly

Also I'd say the same thing if the soclibs over at CompleteAnarchy we're banned, we're not some dead site desperate for users, let them come to us with the appropriate mentality

    How do I learn more about what you're talking about? I've seen a lot of important talk about avoiding sectarianism, and I want to be more informed to help/ be more proactive.

      In the context of American political history, the Black Panther Party's Ten-Point Program and the Oakland chapter's development of revolutionary intercommunalism provides a reasonable groundwork (a template independent of whatever remains of the BPP today) from which anarchists and ML's can unite in practical ways without resorting to ideological squabbles

      Naturally, this applies only to first world nations

      There’s a long history of sectarian activity being used to split movements. Social groups will naturally split at certain sizes, but ideally that means you set up two working groups instead of one and remain in contact. Feds stir up bad blood and make that impossible if they’re successful.

      Also this quote gets used here a lot when talking about sectarianism is general:

      Sectarianism, fed by fanaticism, is always castrating. Radicalization, nourished by a critical spirit, is always creative. Sectarianism mythicizes and thereby alienates; radicalization criticizes and thereby liberates. Radicalization involves increased commitment to the position one has chosen, and thus ever greater engagement in the effort to transform concrete, objective reality. Conversely, sectar­ ianism, because it is mythicizing and irrational, turns reality into a false (and therefore unchangeable) "reality."
