Not trying to be sectarian but the first thing on the wikipedia page was a picture of stirner.
I hate to say it but americans will drag up the wildest political ideologies from the depths of history. Also they stated they hate tankies in the same line as "authority figures", neoliberals, and internet mods.
The western left, ugh.
Forgot to mention they plaster their (german) (noble) house crest everywhere. (They also identify as an anarchist????)
Illegalism is fine and exists widely outside of America (in Europe at least ime). It is a more specific subset of anarchism that is distinct enough to be worth describing. I am sure your new friend is annoying but we have rules against shitting on anarchists for a reason. "Not trying to be sectarian" but you are being. Lots of anarchists hate tankies. Oh well
