I agree with what they wrote and I definitely don’t consider anarchocommunists to be the only real leftists. The left is a broad movement it just doesn’t include tankies. Being pro-oligarchy or pro-monarchy is not left no matter how much red paint you put on it.
Yeah, im with you on that one, i consider to be a anarco-communist myself and i recognize that it is easy to get cult-like about whats really left and even really anarchidt/libertarian.
No wonder why every leftist thinker i know about fought against (what they saw as) sectarianism, thinking freely tends to get you a little sensitive about theory and disagreement, resulting in many movments thinking just slightly different buy treating each other like the worse traitors.
But on a positive note, we tend to get sectarian about theories or practices rather than leader or countries.
I mean, if your attitude is “I’m an anarcho-communist and anyone not that isn’t on the left”, that’s pretty cult-like

I mean yeah, I don’t think I’m disagreeing with anyone here. I’m only considering a tankie-type a leftist insofar as they would pretend they are one.
