anarchists and tankies have the best critiques of each others’ ideas
This is the true meaning of left unity. Not "agree to disagree" but work together to achieve the mutual goals we have (which is most of them at least for a long time) while holding each other accountable, and the breadth of perspective and experiences allows us all to grow stronger and sharpen our edge. Its not about proving one tendency right, or everyone agreeing all the time, but about forging strong solidarity amongst each other so that we can all become the best we can be for the sake of each other
it's as if there's some kind of take by Anarchists...lets call it a "thesis". And then Tankies come out with some counterpoints, Let's call it an "antithesis". And then they merge these two through discussion and action into some kind of "Synthesis" that incorporates the best aspects of both.
There should be some kind of word for this process.

Resolve the non-antagonist contradictions through dialectics!
