Always suspicious when someone claims to be "left" but spends more time blindly hating other leftist tendencies than they do capitalism. I can disagree with anarchists while recognising they still want to help people and make the world a better place. Sectarianism only helps the rich.
Right, my stance is that leftist infighting is bad. We can work together or do our own things and form a united front when needed, but there's no point fighting each other, so it's weird when someone wants to have a fight with me that I don't want to have with them.
I've always had it that the baseline is understanding dialectical materialism. If both parties are truly materialist, then the disagreements are discussion rather than fundamentals.
The "anarchists" who are also not materialist easily show their whole ass when being asked about what the next steps for a new revolutionary government would be and how that government would defend itself against imperialists as well as how the government would implement their bureaucracy.
