One of our problems is that the left is split into three mistakes: Heavily organised, but also totally cultish authoritarian tankies Totally disorganised and overeducated horizontalist anarchists Democratic "socialists" who are repeatedly bamboozled by progressive neoliberals
Most 'tankies' are Maoists if you press them. It's a handy default position because it appears extremely radical but has no substantive disagreements with progressive neoliberalism
