Well this comes from the fact that whenever a "libertarian socialist" posts something, the universe throws a coin, either its something neat or the most chauvinistic shit you have read that day.
Today I had one claiming that ML is not the dominant socialist school and most socialists were actually libertarian ones criticizing the MLs. That claim is either ignorant as fuck or that person does not consider socialists outside of the west as such.
IF a certain kind of self proclaimed socialists tend to turn into the biggest anti-communists the moment they're not cuddled and showered in love then there's no need to strawman them, pointing at them is enough.
yeah but "libertarian socialist" is about as descriptive as "leftist". like you're talking about vaush here. in terms of actual organizing anarchists are valuable comrades with their own intellectual tradition. you can point to any idiot on twitter who thinks hospitals are authoritarian, just like you can point to maoists on discord who think we shouldn't care for the disabled and do adventurism in dc
