    i’m ngl, (online) marxists treat anarchists like right-libertarians treat marxists. like there’s all this cherry-picking and strawmanning and a refusal to engage with actual anarchist thought. an Objectivist says marxists think you can make mud pies in your backyard for 8 hours and it’s worth a million dollars, and an Online Marxist says anarchists think bedtimes and medicine are tyranny

      Well this comes from the fact that whenever a “libertarian socialist” posts something, the universe throws a coin, either its something neat or the most chauvinistic shit you have read that day.

      Today I had one claiming that ML is not the dominant socialist school and most socialists were actually libertarian ones criticizing the MLs. That claim is either ignorant as fuck or that person does not consider socialists outside of the west as such.

      IF a certain kind of self proclaimed socialists tend to turn into the biggest anti-communists the moment they’re not cuddled and showered in love then there’s no need to strawman them, pointing at them is enough.
