When will the left drop the sectarian BS and work together? (hexbear.net)

I am at risk of being sent to a camp because my brain works a little differently than others. Being on the left isn't going to help.

Our friends and colleagues are being deported and jailed just for having anti-Zionist opinions and daring to express them.

Right wing violence is Surging. Our Trans comrades are in increasing danger. We are all having our rights stripped away...

...and the largest new thread is another fucking anarchist beefing with MLs.

What is it going to take for us to work together and fight a common enemy? Anarchists are not my enemies. I don't care which series of 200 year old books you have or have not read, and you shouldn't care either.

You know who ARE my enemies? Those old white people who go to Republican party meetings and plot to deport my neighbors and throw me into a "wellness" camp because they're too much of cowards to handle anyone different than them.

I'm sick of all this endless infighting! Can we all just, IDK, organize to shut down some local GOP meetings, or create some Socialism 101 agit prop, or do anything productive? Or is this what the left does, just endlessly bicker over books online?

Get outside, touch grass, and accept the person next to you no matter what kind of left they claim to be. We're not big enough for this and I really need you to organize because I like living outside of a DHS cage.

I've found that the only line I'm willing to draw in terms of who is and isn't socially-minded for progress is between those of us who want to build an end of the political spectrum to make things better, and those who want to revert to some earlier form that led us to where we are now, or just enforce the status quo because the burning room they're sitting in seems fine compared to the uncertainty of change.
