        sectarianism is only something that a tankie cares about when we won’t bend the knee.

          tankie

          Do you know the historical origins of the term, tankie, perchance?

              It specifically was a slander against Khruschev for putting down a "revolution" in Hungary. That revolution was a CIA-backed "color revolution." where fascists were doing pogroms against Jews and Communists.

                Here is what ziq wrote: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/ziq-tankies-and-the-left-unity-scam

                Very different takes. Seems ziq wouldn't and isn't agreeing with anti-sectarian policies.

            yes, which is why anyone calling for “left unity” makes us suspicious.

              all authoritarianism is bad, all hierarchies are bad. not sure how you plan to get anything accomplished being nice to capitalists but good luck! no hierarchies going to get you crushed by a semi modern army. so many anarchists want to skip the work and get right to utopia.

                I mean they're right about that though, the institutions we build in struggle need to prefigure the institutions we want to have when we win.

                  I don't think prefigurative politics really makes sense, it's utopian almost by definition. A DotP is not prefigurative in any meaningful sense.

                    I mean I don't believe in the Marxist progression of history, it doesn't stand up with modern evidence. It's more of a practical matter: if you want something to be a certain way you've got to make it happen. You'll of course have to compromise at points, but don't start with the compromise

                    I keep accounts on a lot of other right wing extremist websites too. It lets me keep track of dangerous groups.

                    For instance, I was active on kiwifarms for years. That obviously doesn’t mean I support them.
