My two cents on how to achieve left unity:

Anarchists: Stop using the word tankie. It pushes your fellow leftists away and pisses them off. Instead make specific criticisms of communist countries. ESPECIALLY stop calling MLs “red fash”. There is already enough misinformation going around about fascism.

Marxist-Leninists: Embrace critical support. Be willing to criticize and accept criticism of nations like China, the Soviet Union, and especially North Korea. Remember that being against US imperialism is not the only thing that makes a country good.

      Sure, but from the text of the post and from your description of what you already believe, you're not being asked to change your ideology.

          That's fair enough, but a better response would be to point that out instead of the knee jerk response of assuming the asker is being disingenuous. We all have the same goals here.

              If you're interested in people understanding you and knowing what you mean, you'd best say what you mean instead of saying the opposite for "snark" purposes.
