Do they think the Catalan Anarchists had no bourgeois blood on their hands? Do they think the Makhnovites never executed counterrevolutionaries? Fucking idiots. I preferred it when anarchists actually threw pipe bombs.

    It’s just weird to call it an “anti-sectarianism” rule when it’s not really, cuz we’re fine with sectarianism, for example we all drag the fuck out of Trots and Ultras. It’s really just a “don’t bully the anarchists” rule. I just find it weird they’re the only ones who get a pass.

    I mean we all know the REAL reason. Anarchism is the most popular radical left tendency in the imperial core so we kinda have to be nice to them on this Anglo tankie site if we ever want to attract new members. Just wish people were honest about it.

      I mean, I think it also helps keep the anarchists in check about MLs so they don’t do the “red fash” routine.

      Opinion is split on Trots, e.g. the aforementioned comrade nakoichi is weirdly protective of them (I like him one-sidedly, but he is wrong about that and I will post pika-pickaxe to the fucking grave) and has seemingly removed many of my comments about them.

      And, like, you can easily get fighting between Maoists and MLs, but there again the non-sectarian rule is doing what it should for the most part. Maybe it isn’t strong enough and people are still too hard on Maoists, idk. It’s especially a problem there because they need to deal with the legacy of the fucking Gonzalites calling themselves Maoists.

        too hard on Maoists

        The only Maoists who get made fun of are MIM (white terrorists) weirdos who say it’s fascist to order vegan pizza with your credit card (visa signature rewards)

      A rule against sectarianism doesn’t ban substitive critiques, it bans excessive dunking and precludes stuff like mods removing comments on sectarian grounds (as you occasionally see comments removed for being liberal or reactionary).

      The trick, as always, is in how it’s enforced.
