@stemid Worse yet among their own people, AND among people trying their hardest to be allys.... People like this do more to harm the movement they intend to help more than anything from the outside.

@freemo @stemid the new german left, virtually indistinguishable from fascists if judged by their actions.

@bonifartius @freemo @stemid Just why i try to steer away from "left" or "right" as much as i can. Words can be abused easily, Stalin called himself communist for example. More meaningful distinctions, like agression including the context, that's harder to lie about. The context makes it more resilient.

@freemo I don't normally reveal personal details online but in my family I have role models who are actual anarchists. they refuse to support the system either by taxes or by voting. for over 30 years! so I am clearly on their side here. but my anarchist role model once told me "the left is always looking for heretics, while the right is looking for converts". we need to stop fighting amongst each other and start uniting towards common goals instead.

@stemid Uniting is not exactly the strong suite of most anarchists :)

@freemo @stemid Hey... i do try to foster collaboration where i can

@stemid @freemo "Anarchists" - What an abuse of the word. There is so much authoritarianism around, against which anarchists should fight.
And they pick non-authoritarian people to bully.

@stemid
As an anarchist (voluntarist type), I constantly take issue at the socialist anarchism types, as they are violent (taking people's stuff) in nature and forcing people to do things against their wills.

When pushing those people about it, the answer I get is that "property doesn't exist", therefor the fruits of your labor belongs to the collective (slave).

The "leftie anarchists" are nothing but hardcore communists, that realize that Stalin's and Mao's legacies are "difficult"
