sectarianism

Tankies only accuse anarchists of sectarianism so they can weasel themselves in and appropriate our spaces and movements and destroy them with their reactionary capitalist agenda.

But that would imply tankies and centrists are somehow aligned with anarchists. They're far right.

[EDIT since they deleted their account. They said something like "How are tankies rightwing??"]

Lenin's Bolsheviks were the right wing of their party even before the revolution. After the revolution, they steered even further right, crushing all attempts at worker-self-management, slaughtering all the left-wing communists and anarchists. Lenin called his empire "state capitalist" and claimed it would one day give way to communism. That was Lenin. By the time Stalin's crypto-fascism took root, the USSR was far beyond anything resembling even Lenin's state capitalism. It was much closer to Mussolini's fascism.

Tankies (MLs) are followers of Stalin.

Remember when Stalin put scores of gays, leftcoms, intellectuals and anarchists in gulags and worked them to death? Remember when he genocided the Crimean Tatars and the Kazakhs so he could develop their land? Remember when he force-relocated the entire rural populations of Soviet countries for resisting forced collectivization (aka colonialism)?

Pepperidge remembers.

Considering how obsessed with identity leftists are, you'd think they'd violently reject anyone fashioning themselves after a homophobic dictator who killed tons of gay and brown people... It's a weird blindspot they have that I'll never wrap my head around.

Maybe they literally believe in the rapture and they think all the people they gulaged to death will rise from their graves and float up to communadise.

Someone join their discord and see what they're saying. I'm pretty fascinated to see if this ego blow is the trigger for them becoming an ML. Usually this kind of thing causes these "anti-sectarian" ancoms to grow a moustache and start fantasizing about dead kulaks. I've seen it a hundred times. They suddenly realize anarchists are mean, uncivilized and undialectical and go full red fash.

I'm getting so used to people selfdeleting the moment someone disagrees with them that I may as well make a sport out of it.

I wonder what I'd have to say to get you to ragequit.

The fact that you just downvoted this shows me you'll be a tankie within the year.
