The post exclusively attacks Hexbear's ideological "left unity" position so it's kinda fair game for people from that position to want to say something in its defence.
The people doing marxist sectarianism instead of defending left unity are being dummies though.
I mean you can't expect marxists to not critique anarchists? Left unity, yeah we can do that, but not arguing about everything with everyone? Nah.
Depends. There's a line it crosses from maintaining left unity while doing critique versus becoming sectarianism, and it's not useful when it is.
Yes to the first part. Although, I'll take this moment to say: hexbear's left unity could use a tune up
I'm just trying to talk about the latter behavior you described, which is kindof a symptom of what I mentioned
Yeah I agree.
I think the issue here is that since left unity only has enforcement onsite, some are baited into sectarian arguments offsite.
There's also the issue that this is specifically posing left-unity as a marxist trick.
Some of us are also just don't believe the left is compatible with autocratic simps. I've tried to find common ground with hexbears and just don't have the time. It's hard to take their "left unity" seriously when I just get banned for questioning orthodoxy.
Me: "Maybe the left should stop making the same mistakes over and over again."
Hexbears: Ok shitlib.
Much unity.
This. I'm not remotely interested in changing out one master for another. Autocracy is not leftist.
