And only serves to defend the western white Bourgeoisie from the much more serious and theory-oriented "tankies" whom gather their theory from actual research and actual dialecticism. In the past and the present, they're perhaps the biggest force advocating anti-communist narratives.

that kind of implies MLs, "tankies," etc aren't Western leftists as well. separating material analysis from one's own societal conditions is more complex than just blanket-denouncing swathes of other ideological positions. I think if you live in the West and you're a leftist, that definitionally makes you a "Western leftist."

Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.
