as an ML who through circumstance has largely organized with anarchists for real world praxis in my area… yeah, real anarchists are indistinguishable from tankies to a lib. my anarchist comrades have questions about china (none really about vietnam/cuba, they read news) and they are largely fair and the ones that are misdirected they trust me to explain. left unity is entirely possible, our differences are not irreconcilable. while I believe that a revolution which lasts must necessarily create a dictatorship of the proletariat to correct the developmental course, the anarchist expression must persist in its nonviolent form as a conscience and reminder that a stateless and classless society is our ultimate goal
talked about this in a few grill streams. Doing actual work builds solidarity and brings people of different politics together, while bickering online does exactly the opposite.
I’m an anarchist and I would organize with MLs any day. It’s about moving forward, not just in my super particular anarchist way. If that way is through MLism then that’s the way I go. I support China/Cuba/etc because it’s simply a better direction than other states, and definitely more aligned in my view. Sure not optimal in my eyes but I’d rather work towards that than yell incessantly at everyone and accomplish nothing.
