I don’t really think there’s a “middle ground” to be found, nor would we want one to exist, it would be like the mythical “middle ground” between capitalism and socialism that the socdems are always talking about. And to paraphrase Lenin, unity is a great thing and a fine slogan but what we need is unity between Marxists, not unity with the opponents of Marxism.
What i believe is that we can manage to get many of the honest anarchists (those who are not wreckers and feds) to actually become communists once they grow up a bit and learn how the world works. In the meantime we can work with them on a case by case basis when we engage in direct action, mutual aid, anti-fascist community defense, etc.
I’ve seen some anarchists that are actually very nuanced on MLs, one that even read Stalin and understood us
If we had more anarchists like him he would have no problem.
I’m all about the Mr Rogers approach to Anarchists but the minute they try to convince themselves we are the enemy is where it stops
I keep a personal belief that we can do our part in trying to extend a hand and show ourselves to be good like Lenin showed Kropotkin
Again, anarchism is not a socialist ideology, it’s a selfish, individualistic one, centered either on individual terrorism or pacifist martyrdom.

- What’s the difference in economic structure ( production and distribution) of anarchism, anarcho-communism, anarcho-syndicalism, and Marxist communism?
