Right, okay you've read bookchin. So that whole chapter in ecology of freedom about,"Unity in diversity" didn't strike a chord with you?
Let me ask you this, how much do you work to organize.
In my local food not bombs chapter, there are plenty of Marxist-Leninists, who help with the food line, who donate money, etc.
Like, do you go out, face to face with people(as bookchin wanted us to do) and collborate?
Like online we like to argue about theory, but theory is nothing without praxis, right? Like we could talk all day about what,"socialism" should or shouldn't look like, but if we aren't working for it, what's the point?
You ever been to an anti-war march, in my town, the Party for socialism and liberation( a strictly marxist-leninist party) organizes most of the anti-war activity. Anarchists, socialists, and hell liberals of all sorts show up.
Like yes, the catholic workers do their yearly sacred peace walk, yes there are other anti-war activists, but we all come together when we need too.
That's what we need. Like, you're being an ultra-leftist dude.
Like, I don't like trots either, I think their theory is bad, I think their praxis is bad, because their entire praxis has been, split the left.
But I offer them,"critical support"
Here is the thing, I think you're caught up with the toxicity of the internet.
What the Left needs is to have some sort of unity, we lost the cold war, we lost( in the united states) the political struggle, occupy failed, standing rock failed, Bernie lost. now we are trapped in the rise of the horrid authoritarian right.
Understand our current circumstances, we can argue about specifics when we get some victories. We can't afford to be split. There are children being herded into cages.
