The commenters on that site use Pol Pot as an example lmao. I cannot take them seriously.

Also this drivel.

do you have a link? were the “less authoritarian” factions under the libertarian socialist umbrella? if we just listed every massacre or genocide by marxists, we’d be here all day.

Anarchism is a branch of communist thought, socialism is a branch of communist thought, “libertarian” was a rebranding of anarchism originally in places where it was made illegal to disseminate anarchist literature and speak of anarchist philosophy. So libertarian socialist is an oxy-moron and no less contradictory than American modern Libertarians who simply want corporations to supplant the state.

Like it or not we have to take a diversity of tactics to build duel power and engage in a prolonged defensive war against the forces of reaction and that means aligning with others whose ultimate goal is communism. This goes doubly so within the imperial core. Weakening the core takes pressure off of besieged socialist movements in the periphery, and support for anti-imperialist forces against the west makes the empire less capable of repression at home having to exert force on more and more fronts.

Actual anarchists are teaming up with people of all sorts of tendencies and groups like Palestine Action are quite diverse. The people doing the most effective below ground action aren’t arguing about 100 year old mistakes and ideological hangups, they are learning together from them and doing what needs to be done.
