Oh man, I work with Food not Bombs sometimes and they're the sweetest people I've ever met and doing the best work ever. Some of them though are so obsessed with the supposed lurking threat of tankies everywhere it's hard to talk with them outside of very immediate praxis. They even call American police "tankies" sometimes. One time a comrade called a public library a tankie facility because it had books by Marx inside.

I'd still take these comrades over any liberal though. I'd die for them and that's more important
