    This piece makes an assertion and then does nothing to back it up. I feel like I've learned nothing except that the author doesn't like any other tendencies besides anarchism.

    This line in particular fucking sucks:

    anarchy is a completely different animal than anything envisioned by the left (or the right) of capital.

    So because communists believe you need a state, they're supporters of capital? Come on.

      I'm an ex-anarchist, and still anarchist-adjacent, but I have to say that the "anarchist" anticommunism that has sprung up over the last five or ten years is absolutely the worst, most state-department-brained tendency I've ever come in contact with. I'm even seeing people on Mastodon who two years ago were reliable comrades ranting about "tankies".
