View Full Version : Can I be an anarchist and a left communist atthe same time?

I was looking at the tendency groups, and since I consider myself to be an anarchist-communist, I had joined the Anarchist group. To prove my point further, I also was about to join the Left Communist group, when I thought about it for a minute. Can I be an anarchist communist and still be eligible for joining the left communist group? Or do my anarchist leanings disqualify me for that? I know this may sound silly, but I would just like to now.

The description of the left communist user group states that: "This is a group for discussing the theory and practice of the left communist movement in the world today, and the lessons of the historical experiences of the world proletariat".

No, you do not have to be a left communist or sympathiser of the communist left to join. The left communist user group is open to all who wish to discuss left communism (in a contructive and respectful manner, of course).

Communist Left = non leninist/stalinist/ and maybe non trotskyist commie (not sure about the last one,cuz some trotskyist arent leninists)

But stop this label thing already..:cursing:
And the fact that you ask in this way 'hey dudes, i m sorry, i was wondering if i could be a LC and an A... plz tell me" is pathetic.
no offence

You are like the exact opposite of the guy that didn't want to be labeled.
One day it's "I'm Leninist" then "Aww you guys are mean screw you I'm going to change my politics." then "Hey I'm a Capitalist fanboy Humanist!" then "Oh wait I tend to forget what I post sometimes so almighty mods if you can please delete that thread about humanists it would sure be dandy." and now it's "Hey guys I don't mean to sound like a TOTAL noob but can I be Anarchist and Communist? Please please please? I promise I'll go to bed on time."
It's getting quite annoying. If you are going to pick a political ideology please do some reading before you decide to say you're something. Even though I know this is learning you could at least google or look for old threads before you decide to post these types of threads or ask an Anarchist Communist.

The communist left is not exactly "non-leninist". When the biggest left communist organizations were founded, the majority of its members were ofshoots of the italian communist left, and the latter is probably the most ortho "leninism" than many trotskyist groups.

Did any of you besides Rossi read his post? He never claimed to be both anarchist and left communist. He asked could he be a anarchist and still join the left communist group.

Yeah cause I have to deal with conflicting emotions. Aside from that, you have proved yourself time and time again to be an asshole, from posting jerk comments on my message board to realize that "picking an ideology" is exactly what I am trying to do. You contradict yourself when you're talking about me not wanting to be labeled.

Oktyabr, you should not worry about which ideology you pick. If you agree with Anarchist Communism and Left Communism then that is fine. In my opinion there is not much conflict between the two.

I try not to, I'm just retorting to those 2, Dragonrider666 and Bulk Sheep. They made some idiotic comments in my opinion.

Left communist is a group open to those who want to discuss with them, so whatever, you can join their group, unless you are restricted or banned which means no groups.
