I think most leftist redditors just take themselves way too seriously. Try telling the Anarchist subreddits that you work alongside MLs and see what happens. And the Tankie subreddits... well... won't go there.
I know and interact with a lot of activists IRL and it's so weird. Never hear anyone disparaging anarchists in person, it seems to be a product of the internet and its anonymity bringing out the asshole in all of us.
