[dude with glasses in a communist t-shirt, arguing] I’m the only leftist here, your opinions are TRASH

[dude holding a theory book on smug, arguing] Read theory you losers, you’re all WRONG

[dude in an anarchist hoodie, arguing] Nuh-uh, I’m the only leftist here, you’re SHITLIBS

[the three dudes are now caught in a cartoon fight, glasses gone flying, punches everywhere, while a firing squad of nazis are targeting them with rifles]

[a confused nazi asks] Why… why are they still arguing?

    I think the idea that leftists infight too much is just apologia for tankie wrecker behavior, and the entire left shouldn’t have to shoulder the blame and reputation for them. In my own experience (As an anarchist) online spaces are the only place I ever get harassment from other leftists, and they’re always the hard ML types who don’t actually seem to share many common leftist values.

    Personally the only infighting I’ve seen is between tankies (auths) and leftists, but perhaps I don’t hang in the “right” places.

    Anti-social socialists are an absolutely fascinating internet phenomenon. I have met a handful in real life, but they’re more tolerated for their merits than any kind of influential when it comes to face to face dialogue and praxis.
