    This sounds like a fed script almost. It could always just be some bozo, but these taking points seem designed to steer people away from MLism.

      As long as you’re an anarchist who acknowledges that the Soviets were better than the US I can respect that perspective. I’ve met too many who just do “authority bad” without analysis on themselves as an alleged authority on authority.

        There’s a handful of Anarchist books I plan to read at some point. It’s not necessarily a disqualifier for me, but their presence online could not be worse.

          I’ve met too many who also immediately go “I don’t think we’d ever achieve a [stateless classless society] with anarchism”, but it makes them feel better than supporting places like the USSR. It’s exhausting to deal with those types.

            I can sympathize with it slightly. I briefly identified as an anarchist. It’s really drilled into you from birth that USSR and communism are evil. Then I actually read some stuff and realized I had been lied to and kept in the dark.
