Being an anarchist means understanding the nature of authority and so always being conscious of the build up of authority and so never giving aid to anyone who is devoted ideologically to amassing authority.

I'd never be involved in any project that would give even a modicum of power to someone who fetishizes power.

I'd also assume the tankie would sell me out to the cops at the drop of a hat. Doing illegal shit with a tankie is like playing russian roullete.

In this context I think none of that is illegal. But yeah (russian roullete is quite funny in this context lol) I am too skeptical about this project. I think the idea itself is really good, but the fact several members are absolute tankies (one of them actually said "I don't understand why anarchists use tankie as an insults, I like tanks") makes me very skeptical about it.

You don't need to be doing something illegal for a tankie to snitch on you. There are anarchists in prison just for translating anarchist literature.
