    It's such a meme to being split into all these tiny factions which each probably have less than 100 members. Every genuinely revolutionary leftist from anarchists to Maoists who doesn't believe in social democracy needs to unite into a multi-tendency organization to the left of the DSA, a new Marxist-Leninist pre-party formation isn't going to accomplish shit

      The liberal-to-ultraleft pipeline is often accompanied by an obsession with labels that have no applicability outside of branding on internet forums. What’s the difference between a De Leonist, Council Communist and a Syndicalist when none are able to fill the room they reserved at the library with working people? ...

      This also applies to electoral abstentionists, many of whom were loudly and proudly part of the mass support for democratic socialist candidates in the past. These newly radicalized liberals then abandon the very mass work that brought them and countless others into the movement in favor of “more radical tactics.” The obsession with radical tactics comes from the fact that liberals believe that they had always been armed with the right morality and analysis but had simply lacked the right tools to succeed.

      There's one such org in my area! They do a lot of good work with eviction defense and organizing unhoused people, amongst other things. There's a maoist contingent and an anarchist contingent. The main thing they agree on is that neither is really ready to lead a revolutionary mass movement or be the party (in the case of the maoists and leninists)—in which case the most important thing to do is build power amongst the people and do harm reduction.

      Ultimately, I feel like the goals of most leninists/maoists and anarchists who aren't LARPing within a pre-revolutionary society are identical.
