The entire left basically has been fucked over by any given faction of the left. Anarchists lose or fail to mobilize, state communists decide to start fighting the rest of the left before the revolution is even over and tend to leave gaps for authoritarian crackdowns, progressive liberals don’t actually want to overthrow capitalism (and have this tendency to survive revolutions better than dedicated anarchists and communists), trotskyists show up in Mexico with an ice pick in their kidneys…
We need to circle the wagons anyways. Are any of these things worse than fascism? We can fight each other when we’re done, but until then we can fly black, blue, and red flags together, and maybe we can try to find a works we’re all ok living in and make that instead of just fighting each other
