Like, how is this or this supposed to make me feel comfortable using this site as an anarchist? How is "the left" supposed to achieve anything acting like this? Does "the left" even make sense as a cohesive group?

Edit: I mean, this one is just so absurd, it's got to be satire.

    Ultras are Leftcoms, hardline Marxists. "The USSR wasn't socialist because they maintained commodity production" sorta thing.

    t’s just sometimes disheartening to have to go through 3 or 4 assholes to get to 1 cool one.

    Understandable, fuck the haters. For what its worth I've got ML leanings, but if you wanna fuck with "Tankies" throwing shade look up Mao-Spontex. Its a blending of Maoist theory with Anarchist praxis. Revolutionary spontaneity, the people are the vanguard, and a slant towards decentralization as redundancy in holding the mass line. Most anarchists I've met think its pretty neat.

      Mao-Spontex

      How did nobody tell me about this sooner? It sounds super cool; got any recommendation for specific works to read to learn more?

        Unfortunately there's not a lot of concise works or books about Mao-spontex in particular, its more of a tight orbit of similar theory. Best i can do at the moment is point you towards r/MaoSpontex, and recommend looking at the history of the great cultural revolution as it pertained to rejecting the Bolshevik wing of the CCP.

      Woah. Oddly enough this is something I was thinking about lately, mainly in cases like the BPP and Rojava where Mao’s teachings and anarchism may share some practical similarities. Much thanks for this suggestion.
