      actually doing something for said idea and fighting against real enemies of that idea.

      I suspect it’s because it’s the actual difficult and scary part. (Not that I would claim I do any better, I’ve done close to nothing in that regard in my life.)

      You’ve never witnessed a marxist-leninist or a traditionalist anarchist say that feminists or anti-racists are dividing our struggles and we should all unite as a class and then after the great revolution we can tackle other issues? Lucky you ;)

          I think it’s not binary between “unity” and “infighting”. We can probably recognize that we have some common agenda as well as disagreements :)

          No it’s not a strawman argument: it’s an actual argument used in certain circles. If you don’t know such people, lucky you. To be fair, at least in anarchist circles i feel like the past 20y have evolved this notion a lot: intersectional anarchism used to be on the margin but is now a core part of anarchist organizations (except maybe for unions).
