MODERATORS
so a bit like holocaust deniers but on the left extreme of the spectrum
They are the best example of why left unity is bullshit. Tankies are okay with literal fascism as long as it doesn't involve a western country.
I'm all about left unity. If someone makes excuses for authoritarian governments, they're not on the left. If they disagree with black lives matter, they're not on the left. If they're transphobic, they're not on the left. We leftists need to stick together and protect the most marginalised members of our community, by kicking fascists and bigots out. That's what left unity means. Good old paradox of tolerance.
Just because someone's beliefs don't align with yours doesn't mean they "aren't on the left".
Leftism isn't a catch all for good people.
In fact many anarchists became disillusioned with the idea of "the left", hence post-leftism.
