      Claiming to be an anarchist and insist we use flags is peak irony. Never met an anarchist that thinks nations should even exist. Your beliefs are incoherent.

      Claiming the most popular socialist symbol is a fake leftist symbol is a bit rich. I guess real leftism is posturing about anarchism online lol.

      You haven’t broken out of your CIA education even. Fascinating.

        i don’t see someone demanding you comply with their worldview, i see someone giving you advice on how to be a more effective communicator, and therefor recruiter. class-based politics is all about solidarity with the working people, and for a lot of working people the hammer and sickle represents the capital holders that opressed them. leftists operating in post-soviet countries go out of their way to ensure that it’s clear that their politics align with Nestor Mahkno and not Vladimir Lenin. they are still communists, but they very universally identify as anarchists because the goal is not to revive the soviet union which dissappeared their relatives, but instead bring about a true post-state world.

        they do this not because they haven’t broken out of their CIA poison but because the hammer and sickle was representative of a system of authoritarianism that was left wing in aesthetic only
