    Too many anarchist/commune types consider the authoritarians to be their allies because they also hate the capitalists, right up until the point they’re next on the list of undesirables destined for the wall

    Lol we’re under no such illusions. Just because you see us agreeing on capitalist critiques, which I suppose makes you uncomfortable, doesn’t mean we agree on what to do about capitalism.

      I guess I just don’t see much benefit in fraternizing with them, the optics on it are bad (see: hexbear being labeled and dismissed as a tankie instance), and if they’re the ones who ultimately win, things historically have not gone well for the anarchists and anyone else who values personal liberties

        That’s you. You’re doing that. It’s you thats doing the labeling. If you don’t like that label, stop using it

          I thought it was all the tankies from your instance flooding the fediverse with their tankie rhetoric, but it’s nice that you’re giving me the sole power to warp the public image

            I mean you’re the person right now in this interaction using the label tankie, despite the fact that a “tankie” is someone that supports the intervention in hungary in the 70’s. It’s a weird label to be throwing around all willy-nilly, so you must have a reason for it. Seeing as how you’re against that label being used, you should probably stop using it. Take some responsibility

        Agreeing that capitalism sucks ≠ “fraternising”, though. Do you expect anarchists and other sorts of libertarian socialists to start shilling capitalism because “tankies” have laid claim to communism or smthn? Lol
