What are your thoughts on the theory that gen z leftists are being brainwashed by left unity policies? When you were an anarchist were you ever shamed or peer pressured into adopting third positionist politics? Were you radicalized by tankies or did you come to ML on your own?

Brainwashed? That's poor. I think that Gen Z leftists just realize that working together is much better. Division helps no one, but friendly debates is fine and often encouraged in left-unity spaces. Like in the Chapo discord there's #anarchism or #marxism-leninism, and people ask questions or debate there. The general chats also have constant shitshows about China. Left unity is a complicated thing, and not necessary in most international revolutions. But anarchists in America are more common than the rest of the world.
