i dont have much nice to say about u/liberalsocialist so i wont say much, but their presence here was entertaining and ill miss having their posts that were rich with comments

our loss of u/ides_of_merch however is a true tragedy. i was always so excited to see their BMF-esque posts, they were perfect. they got banned for sectarianism but i think it was a misunderstanding :(

    hating genuine ancoms is legit sectarianism. i know a lot of libs claim the mantle of "anarchist" but there are plenty of real anarchists on hexbear who are valuable members of the community

        I think it more that we can argue and debate in other online spaces, but this is like a refuge for far-left anti-capitalists. We're here just to help weather the storm.

        i agree completely. but i think the best strategy is to try to maintain an understanding with everyone who agrees that capitalism must be ended. and a lot of reddit "anarchists" have reactionary ideas and have a nonsense understanding of AES states, but there are ancoms here who respect the achievements of socialist states and they offer reasonable critique that doesnt rely on western propaganda

        thats true. but we still get lumped in with patsocs despite our protests. left unity first, if there is a practical reason our tendencies cause us to split so be it, but we dont even have a party to split

        lets just get along with our anarchist comrades :left-unity-3:

        edit: i kind of misread the 2nd half of ur comment. i just wanna say i 100% agree w you
