    Rule n°2 is pretty generic. Feeling welcome is not exactly the same as feeling comfortable. Being faced with our own contradictions on a public forum is in my view a good thing, but being assigned a specific role based on a label (“anarchist”, “communist”) is in my view counter-productive.

    I don’t think criticizing an ideology is a lack of respect. I would personally support strong explicit language against authoritarian communists to denounce their attacks against popular self-determination in the present times. But i’m not in favor of “all marxists are genociders” kind of discourse, if that’s what you had in mind.

    That’s just my two cents, and honestly i’m tempted to open a dedicated anarchist lemmy, if only for concerns of resilience ;)
