Self-styled “anarchists” decrying revolutionary violence as “authoritarian” and “oppressive” are so on my nerves. (lemmygrad.ml)

Do they think the Catalan Anarchists had no bourgeois blood on their hands? Do they think the Makhnovites never executed counterrevolutionaries? Fucking idiots. I preferred it when anarchists actually threw pipe bombs.

I am mildly curious why, if it hypothetically was attacking anarchism in general, that would be "punching down".

I say punching down because the the majority of active leftists communities on Lemmy are dominated by MLs and other commies. & I see a lot of general hate towards anarchists. which is apparently a much smaller of a group.

Nothing on the rest?

You are plainly taking this in bad faith, they don't mean anarchists who do support revolution and they could hardly be more clear in that fact. Try rereading once before denouncing an entire instance of fellow communists.

I've stated this in other comments:

These kinds of posts are the only ones I see regarding anarchy. Only calling them "anarchkiddiez" or libs.

Its not clear to a person who is newer here that there is a difference. And Further I know from experiance many people In the community really do think anarchist are fake leftist.....

Frankly, its gets old going from Lemmy world seeing communist bashing just to come here and see anarchist bashing.

It makes me feel like I am not welcome any where on Lemmy.

Remember this is a lemmygrad and not hexbear post. Stick to hexbear if you're sensitive about it, or block the leftist infighting comm and you'll see much less from lemmygrad about it.

And Further I know from experiance many people In the community really do think anarchist are fake leftist.....

People typically understand that criticizing anarchism more generally requires a more substantial critique, and plenty are willing to offer it and have done so already.

I'm sure your right but mostly I just see anarchist bashing.

Maybe you can link some post with earnest anarchist critques? That's really the reason I'm here to see real critiques of anarchy so I can learn more.

Elsewhere in this very thread there are links to a bunch of literature like Gramsci. Try even just reading what the other users who are talking to each other and not you say.

Perhaps also try reading Lenin. Both cases are just easy examples within the many things each wrote.

Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations

1282 readers

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.
