    I’m an anarcho-syndicalist, organizing a union in my workplace. I’m currently a mod for a discord server we created so our union can talk outside of work. I’m usually available to do mod stuff during weekends and most evenings, plus random times throughout the day.

    I resonate heavily with the goal of being the “one stop shop” for leftism, so a motivation for being mod is to help foster left unity. I know that there’s a lot of disagreement between leftists and their ideologies, but I think we as leftists should focus on the here-and-now through antifascist, anti-racist direct action to achieve anything that escapes liberalism and capitalism. Only then does debate between sects truly matter.

          Can you give me some insight into your dislike for Marxist Leninist? To me, their ideology seems well thought out, if a bit misguided. What political economy would you like to see?

              I’m an anarchist, I think. It changes as I learn. But the world I want seems unimaginable. I’m not authoritarian at all. I don’t agree with a lot of what Lenin, or Stalin did. But the way I see it, ML’s are useful for me to achieve my goals. Because they have framework, people gravitate to that. All I can reference is Spain. And that lasted, what, 2 years. Lenin would have had me jailed or killed.

                  I just read about them. There’s so much to learn, it’s daunting. They seem based. Thanks
