Yeah they're pretty sectarian. I don't think its helped by the very confrontational scene on reddit from both sides of the left (which I feel like is stirred from the outside a bit) but if anything happens to them we have to make sure they're not going to be sectarian here. I know MLs are kind of a majority here but I really think it's important to have the diversity in tendencies on a site like this. Anarchists are cool af though.
The only people who make anarchists look bad are people who proudly wear the label, and do nothing but diss communists and the work that has been done in the 3rd World. Like Vaush!
Yeah I admit a get slightly annoyed with the youtube anarchists that seem to think it's their duty to attack "tankies" rather than deal with threats to the left.
yeah I think the actual liberal communities LARPing as anarchists don't help but they will also shit on actual anarchists too. And lumping them all together instead of pointing out that the lib communities aren't really representative of anarchist ideals a lot of the time they just blanket shit on them all
can you blame them though? Every time the imperialist mass media hypes up some anti-PRC topic, the r/anarchist sub gets right on board. I remember obvious yellow peril posts on r/anarchism getting hundreds of upvotes, ffs I even remember a r/the_donald poster getting upvotes for posting an anti-PRC meme.
I mean i frequent r/anarchism and what they described happens like once in two months, it's rare that any anti-China stuff gets more than 10 points there.
Apart from that unlike r/communism, they don't ban MLs on sight and their mods don't fuck with communist spaces like what happened with GenZAnarchist.
I agree that what goes on Reddit is mostly unproductive clout chasing but acting like it's only "anarchists" who do so is pretty dishonest, especially putting GenZedong on a shield in the process.
It's mostly just dissing anarchists who possess an equal and opposite disrespect for ML achievements/leaders/ideas, rather than substantive arguments against anarchist ideology itself. Not that they don't also dislike anarchism as an ideology, but still.
r/genzedong are good people (except they don't like anarchists :sadness: )

Our mascot is a cat, how could anyone hate us?!
honestly I have no idea. Even the capitalist propaganda against anarchism makes y'all look badass, even if its still a shitty misrepresentation.

Y'know, Morons.
v*ush and his "community" and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race

I don't know, r/anarchism was the one that was mentioned and i only follow that.

The MLs can have a little decentralized mutual aid, as a treat.
I have seen them give props to historic anarchist groups.
Thats kind of cool
Everyone's got their hangups.
Just slide a copy of The Bread Book into their copy of The Little Red Book and they'll come around.
