It's a tale as old as time of Anarchists absolutely shitting all over communists but god damn I hateeeee it. No self awareness

Edit: to be clear I don't have a problem with Anarchists, just seems like very often MLs are met with so much vitriol with people they could collaborate with. Just sucks. Stupid interner

    Seeing stuff like this ig post just reinforces to me that when people say "Anarchists and Communists hate eachother" it really just means that Anarchists hate communists lol. Most people critiquing the post come with actual thoughtful responses and information...whereas a lot of the people defending it just seem to be moving goalposts, posing gotcha questions, uttering American anticommunist talking points and just completely side stepping the fact that the post is OBVIOUSLY speaking generally about Marxists, yet they argue that its about "specific groups only". Like if I were someone who knew nothing about communism, my reaction to the post would be "I need to steer clear of tankies" and not go much deeper than that. Super harmful imo and it sucks because I feel like there is much more in common between communism and anarchism foundationally than not
