Saw a post about an influx of anarchists to lemmygrad and this popped into my head.

*maybe

Saying this as someone who constantly sees the local anarchist groups and CPUSA/ML groups working together at rallies and picketlines.

If your anarchism starts and stops at your screen you're just a liberal. Same for Marxist Leninism.

i mean if we only disagree on whether a hypothetical communists society in the future could actually abolish authority altogether, then whatever i welcome them they are still wrong but i dont mind. But generally anarchist on the anglosphere internet means radlib who buys into all the western propaganda about socialist countries but still want to be leftists and these types can fuck off, to somewhere where they can read a book.

There are 5 questions on the Lemmygrad signup to make you explain why you want to be there. I thought it would be funny to answer "I'm too much of an anarchist to submit to a hierarchy and answer this."

I never heard back on my application. 🤷‍♂️

I've always seen anarchism to be more liberal than socialist. Like the end goal of liberalism where everyone cares about him/herself and fuck everyone else. Maybe that's just me.

I have never met an anarchist who doesn't know about Kronstadt or the betrayal during the Spanish Civil War. No anarchist who's ever read any history would trust an ML.

Most of the time MLs will either never actually organize anything or just stab you in the back. They are not welcome in anarchist spaces or actions because they try to take over after anarchists do all the real work.

This meme is just shows that lemmygrad, like almost all MLs I've met in real life, only exist behind a computer and never do anything in the real world. They leave real work up to anarchists then claim victory when we get shit done, and then beg for "left unity" when we kick red fash out of our spaces.

If you agree to points of unity we can work together. If you violate them, fuck off. We can be temporary allies, but we will never be friends.

Seems like Lemmygrad folks should maybe try meeting real people instead of just ones made of straw. But you do you. Unlike red fash I'm not going to murder you if you disagree.

Don't bother responding. I'm moving to an instance that fediblocks lemmygrad.

Anarchist here, Authoritarians can fuck off.
