Sorry but that’s BS, lots of Western anarchists glorify Bookchin which can’t be said about tankies and Pol Pot.
I got instantly perma-banned from anarchist subreddits simply for quoting some of his Zionist ideas (with sources) to add a bit of context to posts promoting him.
No communist space will ban you for critisizing Pol Pot, quite the opposite, they will ban Pol Pot sympathisers.
I really don’t want to disagree with you, but there was this one discord channel that I was banned from due to my unfavorable opinion of Pol Pot…
The world’s a big place and you can find all kinds of superfringe wackos. But getting back to the main post, anarchists do try to rehabilitate their problematic figures significantly more than communists do.
As Trudge said I am sadly aware of too many people stanning Pol Pot or the Shining Path. We gotta always be aware of those among us that have problematic takes. Patsocs being another extreme example.
Anarchist here. Fuck Bookchin.
This is like if I were to make a post dunking on Maoists and using Pol Pot as an example lol.

Bit idea: post “Read Pol Pot” on every vaguely political reddit post
If I cant get banned from.world with my alt soon I might try this
Yeah, but it could be useful for radicalizing liberals who glom onto the anarchist label towards actually being anarchists.
