I might also have to write a thing distinguishing forms of leftism - radicals, libertarians, identitarians and liberals which also break down into smaller groups and where they overlap &where they conflict utterly. Might have to recruit someone skilled in the art of Venn Diagramshttps://twitter.com/EricHamell/status/981142017353842688 …
And this is why they seem to espouse ideas which are directly antithetical ideologically and intellectually, blending anarchism & Marxism & identity politics?

Do they? Wasn't aware there was even an organisation to issue statements.
-
No, I see no statements. I just see what they are saying during protests.
-
Ah yes, then the inconsistency is probably that it's different people at different times / students who haven't thought it all through yet

I'm not sure about that. I've heard adult self-described US anarchists agree wholeheartedly with intersectionalism and identity politics. How they can combine the individualism and libertarianism of anarchism with the authoritarianism of identity politics I have no idea.

Basically it's a big leftish tent that will accept anybody who wants to counter far-right bullshit. Though the german variant, the british variant, and the american variant are noticeably different. Also the berkeley idiots accept mindless vandals and are despaired of by the rest

Plus in the US it's gone from very few to *lots* of people very rapidly due to recent events, so there's the inevitable shitshow factor of an organisation/movement that's attracted too many converts too fast for effective mentorship (see also tumblr fauxminism)
