You know it's gotten pretty bad when even the anarchist flag usernames are meming about how ridiculous the anti tankie attitude is.

I've been more people complaining about Tankies than anything actually based on what Tankies support. But I've seen plenty of shitlibs openly supporting for biogtry on .world

Nah, I get hexbear users popping up. Unsure of lemmygrad.

Dbzer0 is defederated from Grad as far as I know. The admins are generally hostile towards MLs, they only allow Hexbear because it has a significant Anarchist presense.

Imo anarchists and people who even lean that way have a big interest in making sure tankie doesn't get used as an insult for anyone to the left of liberals, real tankies grouped and killed anarchists, letting everyone be called tankies and not just real tankies means Anarchists are less safe.

Yup. Mutual aid and mutual security are closely tied. Any top down heirarchal structure, no matter how temporary you're told it will be, is against the interests of the workers/proletariat/commoner.

Communists worked closely with fascists in Italy to have anarchists killed when Mussolini was in power.

Soviet Union General Secretary Joseph Stalin broke the Non-Intervention Agreement and League of Nations embargo by providing material assistance to the Republican forces, becoming their only source of major weapons.

From August 1936 onward, over one ship per day arrived at Spain's Mediterranean ports with Russian aid: munitions, rifles, machine guns, hand grenades, artillery, trucks, Soviet agents, technicians, instructors, and propagandists.
