People online have a bad habit of larping like any red or black army actually exists or is even likely to exist in the near term. Saying stuff like never organize with X group as though there aren't already few enough leftists out here to begin with.
We're so far from the point where we can even imagine what faction of the left will claim a majority in any hypothetical revolution and people are arguing about China or "red-fash" nonsense when we have a crumbling empire right at our feet that needs us to organize and unite.
We have a hell of a lot of work to do both in outreach and education and must provide a clear alternative to reactionary groups for the masses losing faith in the legitimacy or efficacy of liberal capitalism before we start rehashing 100 year old ideological beefs.
The tankies aren't going to murder you, there's no impending revolution for the anarchists to betray and thinking that the exact same historical conflicts and mistakes will be inevitably repeated is defeatist and anti-materialist.
A better world is possible. None of us can accurately say how or when we will get there but unless we get our shit together it will be to late. Maybe it already is too late, maybe the world has already ended but we have to at least try.

Yep, that's according to his ex-wife I guess, so it seems solid. However, the backstory of Star Trek is just too similar to Posadism to be a coincidence imo. Nuclear war, aliens bringing communism, telepathic communication with dolphins and whales, etc. It's all there, so I'm thinking Roddenberry must have came across it at some point and thought it would make a good tv series.
It sure did. Douglas Adams seems to have come to a similar conclusion.
