I know that the meanings of phrases change over time and probably mutate more when they are translated to another culture, but sometimes you just have to tell so-called "anarchists" that they are full of shit. Working with right wingers? That's fucking insane.

My approach to these things is to educate, ostracize, confront and be obnoxious if necessary,

People these days believe some idiotic crap. Including so-called anarchists.

These right wing people referred to have 2 things going for them: 1, a semi-monopoly on anti capitalism as it's mixed with nationalist politics, and 2 a lot of sympathy from the workers who are being fucked over from the new realities of modern capitalism.

So if you look at the revolutionary movement of Solidarnosc as a historical example, it's hard to say "working with right wingers is insane" when you're actually successfully building a revolution strike by strike. A mass workers movement for freedom is always diverse. I'm not saying I stand by people who work with nationalists, but I understand that the Political situation outside of the West is a lot more dynamic than the Republican/Democrat scheme in American politics. I'm not sure where I stand, but people should stand firm on their push to build social movements. Imagine if we said we won't work with people who have sexist tendencies ... there goes +49% of your movement.

This is the historical question anarchism is plagued by ... do we work with people in the short term to build for the long term (whether authoritarian communists or right wing nationalists) or do we make ideologically pure standards and end up with mass movements of 10 people ?
