Libs thinking we’re on their side, until the point we reject electoralism and US imperialist propaganda. Then label as as “tankies”.
Campists thinking we’re on their side until the point we reject “AES” and “left unity”. Then label as a “liberals”.
Anarchists are clearly the rare species of “liberal tankie” 😆
I mean, it’s kind of like the difference between “feminist” and “egalitarian”. All egalitarians are inherently feminists. But not all feminists are egalitarians. Part of the issue is that you can’t stop others from claiming the title, even if you disagree with them. Anyone can claim to be an anarchist, the same way anyone can claim to be a feminist. Even if their views on specific policies differ from your own, or from what most would consider anarchist.
And opponents have 100% used this to poison movements, by inserting living strawmen into groups, then pointing at them to portray the entire group as crazy.
