      THE UNMITIGATED GALL! I'll have you know, sir, that I am a non-denominational post-structuralist Hoxha-curious Stalino-anarchist!

        Vaush fans don't go outside

        theyre also not leftists because Vaush is a weird terf who calls trans people "degenerates".

        Even Shapiro fans can be shook, rescued, adopted, and made into comrades. Vaush sucks ass, but all are welcome on the left once they change.

    I'm down for this but if we're really gonna head that way, we need to make sure there's no bad faith CHINA BAD or ANARCHISM BAD when we're spreading the good word of the Left if we indeed wish to be acolytes.

        That's probably because most of the posts asking about those faults are in bad faith. I would love to talk about my experience going from demsoc to libsoc to anarchist to ML, but all I tend to see is a jerk session.

    The alienation is what kills me. I've seen way to many comments that boil down to "I'm X tendency and I don't interact with Y tendency because of a negative experience I've had online" and whether or not that's reasonable, it creates a split between groups that should be working together right now. It's something I need to work on too, but being an ass because of someone's tendency is neither productive or effective

    First they came for the cummunists, and I cheered because I was a demsucc.

      Taking over a subreddit because you don't like insert cadre here is extremely dumb. I don't really care who is doing it to who, I want to shove those people back into whatever lockers they were let out of.

    infighting is pretty stupid. i did some solid praxis and helped a fellow too-online trans woman get healthcare and she ghosted me over not thinking anything crazy was happening in xinjiang.

      Did she ghost you, or did she haunt you with the spirit of communism? It's all a matter of perspective!

        nah just blocked me immediately for thinking i was racist against muslims or something bizarre that i never showed any inclination of. she is an anarchist and im just a plain jane marxist, not an ml. my belief is individual ideology doesnt particularly matter, material conditions will shape what goes down and how it happens.

    Leftist infighting is a psyop that worked.

    Anyone trying to argue about tendencies while the seas are boiling deserves to be ignored.

    This anti-"infighting" circlejerk is getting annoying. Too many posts like this on the front page in the last few days. Calling people out for saying dumb shit is good (especially if it's imperialist propaganda) and arguing is fine. Nobody's interfering with actual organizing. Nobody's causing schisms within actual organizations for doing this. Nobody's undermining unity of action.

    People with irreconcilable ideological aims (e.g., to create a worker's state or not, to structure a revolution around a vanguard party or not, to defend existing ML states or not, etc.) are inevitably going to argue, like they have since Marx's time. It's not COINTELPRO for fuck's sake. I feel like stopping "infighting" is going to become an excuse for shutting down discussions.

    Stop being big babies who can't tolerate conflict.

    Also stop using the word "LARP" to describe posting online. That doesn't make any sense.

      I mean for a site that is explicitly trying to achieve left unity or something it's pretty bad that there are about three struggle sessions between tendencies in a day, not like that matters btw.
