i just think it's really silly how anarcho-lefists act like they are separate from the democratic party but then mostly go out and vote anyway, are completely invested in the outcome of elections, and so implicitly cosign to the strategy of pushing the dems left whether they realize it or not, they are incapable of separating themselves from liberals in any meaningful way

it's really the worst of both worlds because they neither contruct an alternative political ecosystem altogether, nor do they enter the democratic party on the local level and try to oust the DNC leadership and run socialist candidates, so political action amounts to sporadic entryism into popular movements that are mostly led by progressives/liberals that are easily coopted and called off. Meanwhile it's the most milquetoast reformist elements that end up actually doing anything, and naturally, because they like principles and systemic critique, go the route of compromise and opportunism.

it's just a completely ridiculous way of going about things and repeating these radical sounding cliches gets more and more insufferable to me, and if you talk about building an anarchist federation or something it's the most ultra-revolutionary posers who are like "what does organizing even mean? sounds authoritarian, movementism is bad, organizationalism is bad, actually-doing-anything-ism is bad and if you want to do anything besides isolated acts of petty vandalism you're a cop" I'm sick of this bullshit, it's obviously a psyop
