I had a self-proclaimed anarchist tell me on r/tankiejerk, and I quote, "Castro massively persecuted gay people, established a surveillance state on his own people and induced a US embargo which continues to cripple the island's economy (only kept afloat by Soviet subsidies)." I don't necessarily disagree with the first two points but the last one is insane
Just the most disturbing shit to read from another "leftist". I love my anarchist comrades but ancom to neocon is really a thing, folks.
there's a injoke i've seen on leftist twitter that goes "who said this: anarchist or neoconservative?" and it's a screenshot of some comment an anarchist made that sounds like something a neocon would say.

Ahh I see
Seems doubtful that was a committed anarchist and not just an aesthetics larper tho, and not representative of anarchists at large, imo
yeah of course, no irl anarchist I've ever met has ever been like "silly Castro, getting your people blockaded"
