I wish we had more anarchists.
Me, I used to call myself an anarchist but then I realized I couldn’t explain it well enough to justify anything about it. I guess I’m just a socialist.
why is it so hard to find anarchists who don’t hate Tankies and Tankies who don’t hate anarchists. Why can’t we all just get along and overthrow capitalism.
Decades of infighting. The soviet union would fund communist groups but not anarchist, which was a point of resentment. Later, when the soviet union asked for communist parties to engage in bad policy like the United Front in Spain or the no-strike policy in the US, it built resentment with the independent left.
Later, the 4th international built wedges between themselves and “Stalinists.”
Later the CIA posed as anarchists to drive wedges between anarchists and communists.
We’re used to sectarianism and we’re a little traumatized by it and is it any surprise we’re all a little weary of each other?
