This, I don’t care about the polemics that happen between Anarchists and us ML/MLMs, because it’s usually comradely criticisms, it’s a huge divide but not too huge to poison the well as it were. Anarchists that actually read Kropotkin or Bakunin or Proudhon would inevitable come into contact with Communists and have a chance to learn. But Vaush on the other hand actively poisons the well and even bullies anyone in his crowd who speaks of theory. Vaush’s foundations are so weak that anyone that strays from his political line is bullied, Anarchists who also read anything beyond just Noam Chomsky is bullied.

I wouldn’t even mind if Vaush were a well read Anarchist who would engage in polemics with “tankies” because at least it wouldn’t leave his audience completely confused on what leftism is and just restrict it to Ideology vs Materialism. Where now you have his audience not knowing what the fuck they are, leaving them essentially as radical liberals with a whole slew of confusing contradictory beliefs. It’s what he does to his audience that worries me, it’s not a place of learning for leftists it’s only a platform for owning the fascists and that’s fine as long as he doesn’t talk about leftism.
