That's exactly why I don't like genzedong. It feels hostile, sectarian, and generally bad for left unity. I get that you don't like anarchists and any leftist who doesn't like China, but there's a point where a group starts bashing other leftists more than it bashes fascists or lolbertarians, and that's just ridiculous.
and as a result, reddit anarchism is pathologically focused on forum-warring with "tankies." the norms of internet fandom are destructive to the hope of an organized left.
oh definitely, there are real sectarian conflicts that go back to socialism's beginnings, but i don't think the evil kronstadt-crushing authcom was ever the fetish object that it is on /r/anarchism
r/genzedong doesn't have enough anarchist content and infighting. r/CTH was better.

It's called GenZedong and it's in support of China. It's not going to be friendly towards online anarchists who by-and-large think China is "evil".

It's a reaction to reddit anarchism, which unironically and frequently says stuff like Tankies being worse than the US or being comparable to nazis.
