A lesson from history

As an anarchist and a history nerd I feel the need to point out: THE SORT OF IDEOLOGICAL GATEKEEPING THIS SUB IS CURRENTLY ENGAGING IN IS HOW LABOR MOVEMENTS DIE In the real world we do not have the luxury of worrying about ideological purity, the hard facts are that we as anarchists are a tiny, tiny minority. If we want to actually accomplish ANYTHING beyond sitting around having a philosophical circle jerk we need to be open to working with ANYONE who is willing to work with us in good faith, no matter how misguided we think they might be. Creating an atmosphere of hostility and exclusion like y'all are doing not only deprives us of allies, it deprives us of recruits.
