Yes, there was a period of time as I started getting into politics that I identified as an anarcho-communist. I eventually became a big advocate for Left Unity and started to call myself a “non denominational socialist.”
However, then the word “tankie” entered the scene and though I started to admire things like the USSR and their victories for the common people, I made sure to draw a clear line and distance myself from people like Stalin or modern day China.
And now here I am today! Unabashed!
I still believe that the majority of anarchists ultimately crave the same world that MLs do. We all want a world of peace and plenty and justice. It’s just a matter of, “How do we get there?”, is when things split.

Absolutely, absolutely.
