An issue of principle

[BogdanV]

Pardon me if the title doesn't make too much sense. I'm trying to figure out how this would sound best in English, but I think you'll probably understand once I lay down my problem.
Well, Monday's 9th of November and for the first time after a good couple of years, we have a antifa march in my home city.
Sadly, the hour (12) is kinda prohibiting as I have school, but maybe this can be solved.
My real issue is the following : Here, people simply can't separate Communism from ye liberal "totalitarism" crap. The only force representing the left here are the anarchists (or so they consider themselves).
But the problem with them is that they view Communism, Socialism, just about anything that has its roots in Marx and Engels's work exactly the way our dear liberals view it : impossible nonsense that lead to a entire century of dictatorship !
I'd gladly join the march, but with such comrades, I'd feel that joining them would be be as useful as joining the CPSU.
As for a possible future collaboration, that would also be impossible, as, by rejecting Communism, you simply send the entire idea of class consciousness and the bettering of the proletariat down the toilet.

This being the situation, what would you guys advice me to do ?

Make a sign:

Marxism =/= totalitarianism. Read a friggin book anarchists.

"March separately, strike together"

That is the basic idea of a united front. Whatever your differences politically, you unite on a concrete issue, in this case being a protest against the far right. But you still hold up your own banner and do your own thing.

We have a similar situation in the Netherlands where anarchists also dominate the AFA scene. They always complain about us doing papersales and doing political work. This stems from a difference in views. They want to restrict everyone participating in the demonstration to just focus on kicking the nazi's (which is often not possible due to huge police barriers), while we see the demonstration as a platform to raise political points, organise solidarity and link the particular struggle against racism to a wider struggle against capitalism.

Different views and goals, yet we strike together.
