These are all really damn good points that I hadn’t considered previously. We’re obviously not going to budge on some of those aspects as a site (no left anti-communism, no cia propaganda, neutrality on china), but the trying to educate anarchists thing really stands out to me as somewhere we could improve. There’s a bullshit “aNaRcHiSts jUsT dOnT kNoW tHeYrE MLs yEt” trope that I think is toxic.

Criticising Leninism is not left anti communism tho and a lot of users act like it was and some prominent users are def only here to push their agenda on others.

And it really is a turn off when i am being "lectured" on my own country's history by westerners for example because i dared to question the party line.
