I get the impression that 95% of the people here are some flavour of ML.

    Yes, I'm an anarchist and a communist. I've seen several other anarchists around here too. There's room for disagreement with other leftists, but we are still on the same side here.

      Seems like a lot of people make light of liberatarianism or joke about anarchists being liberals here. Does that not bother you?

        In the popular discourse "libertarian" means "right-libertarian", and yeah, right-libertarians deserve to be dunked on. There is some actual sectarianism here sometimes, which isn't good, but on the other hand, there are internet personalities like Vaush and NJR who call themselves anarchists but are practically libs or socdems, hurting our cause. Also, when more sincere anarchists like Noam Chomsky have bad liberal takes like lesser-evilism, I think it's fair to criticize them for it.

          Youtube is becomeing a big problem IMO. I can agree to disagree with someone like Sam Seder for pushing social democracy, but Vaush is either a psyop or an irresponisble jack ass. We need to actively discredit fools like him.

              I am a marxist. I agree with Lenin on most things and I get a lot of inspiration from Mao.

              Vaush is not a principled anti-imperialist. I am cool with anarchists, but I am more than happy to go toe to toe with an anarchist over imperialism related issues.

              If you just prefer decentralized politics over demcent or whatever, you do you as far as I am concerned.
