    Certainly communists participated in the organization but it was predominantly an anarchist show.

    This is remarkably common in 21st-century social movements in America.

      western anarchists seem to spew a lot of red scare propaganda online. dunno about irl because i’m not in the us, but this can be a factor.

        In the US I’ve seen anarchists and MLs working together no problem, during any action I haven’t seen much disagreement, it seems more theoretical IMO.

        I used to be one of those anarchists, until I started to get a better sense of the history of revolutionary movements and of the completeness of Western propaganda. Eventually I came to see anarchism and Marxism less as delineations and more as foundations.

        The world is a lot friendlier without dogmatic grudges against leftists.
