You're not to the left of us.
I mean I don't know who they are but opinion defines position, not your opinion on your position
What are you trying to say? Legit question, not sarcasm, just confusion.
They said "how about we work on that and not build artificial walls to those to the left of us."
MLs and other similar ideologies are not to the left of anarchists.
MLs? I tried googling it, but the closest approximation is Marxist-Leninists?
Yeah, marxist-leninists. There was this guy called Joe who really liked Marx and Lenin, but he didn't understand them. So he created this new ideology called Marxism-Leninism that he claimed was a synthesis of their two ideas, but was actually about establishing a one-party state and abandoning the goal of world communism. In the end, he never succeeded in creating a communist society, he just invented state capitalism.
So now Joe Stalin's fans run around calling themselves marxist-leninists and say we need to achieve a classless, stateless communist utopia by establishing a nondemocratic state ruled by an elite class called the "vanguard party". They're super cringe, but they think they're to the left of anarchists because they use more violence against minorities or something
yes, that is correct, and ironically fascist (who would have seen that coming, a single party dictatorship with economic control ending as fascist)
