It’s finally happened. r/communism is formally a Gonzaloite cesspool. This happened after a few months of openly displaying the Shining Path hammer & sickle as the sub’s logo.

    This is exactly my attitude as well. We’re light-years away from a scenario where even ML vs. anarchist might truly matter for anything beyond a choice of day-to-day tactics (and I think there’s room for different orgs pursuing different tactics), much less ML vs. MLM. I’ll work with anyone pursuing the destruction of global capitalism and its replacement with anything that isn’t even worse. In my experience, these sectarian differences matter very little to most people doing direct action in the real world. Organizations that are super preoccupied with ideological purity and never working with people who have a different “flavor” of communism are rarely doing much that’s important anyway.

      100% in an org I used to be a part of we had anarchists, MLs, an MLMs working together and would always joke about sectarianism and who was going to band together to beat up one of the other tendency aligned members. Nobody fucking cares what you call yourself if you are doing the work.
