Gotta counter the Lemmygrad propaganda going on here lately.

    His instance is new to the flotilla and I regret it joining. It seems all this dude does is instigate leftist division. One thing to also note is that we are not the people of the past. Anarchists and communists today probably should form some sort of alliance to combat all capitalists countries hatching from their fascists cocoons.

      We very often do work together! It’s important to of course recognize the differences between anarchism and Marxism (both means and ends), but in the real world orgs work together all the time.

      Hell, the soviets named one of their largest rail stations Kropotkinskaya, after Kropotkin.

        Im newish to anarchist nexus so I cant say for sure either. They also aren’t the only ones. I never heard anarkiddy until I came here. Not that I really care. The right just seems so massive right now that infighting is like cheering for your ingrown toe nail.

          I never heard anarkiddy until I came here.

          If anyone calls you that on here, I believe it violates rule 8. But I’ve not seen it frequently, to be honest. My experience of spaces outside of here is that the “tankie” and “red fascist” accusation is constant, including against anarchists who make the mistake of going against the crowd in any way - though while I don’t have a lot of experience with anarchist.nexus from what I’ve seen it’s way better than a lot of other places and seems like a pretty good, chill space.

          Edit: I used the search and found 34 comments containing the word “anarkiddy” and approximately 200 using “anarkiddie” on this instance over the course of its entire existence, a huge number of which were ironic, jokes, or criticisms of the word. I think most instances where “tankies” are decried probably fill that quota within a few days. That’s not to say that “anarkiddy” is the only possible form of sectarianism against anarchists, of course, but I don’t think the word is used frequently enough to say it’s symptomatic of a particular problem on here.
