Oh, okay thank you for clarification. I agree with you, sectarianism is to me one of the biggest problem in far-left groups. But I still think that this is not enough imo to justify that "There is no practical difference" between them and fascists, even if restricted to their behavior on those communities. Anyway, i understand this comment better now, thank you <3

Oh yeah, there's a huge difference between tankies and fascists. Tankies are 10,000% better.

Suppose my only two choices in a vote were between a tankie that punched me in the face and slept with my mother, and a fascist. I would not just vote for the tankie, I would also donate money, canvas for them, and tell all my friends to vote for them.

I think it's just an online problem, anybody who gets radicalized in an echo chamber loses the plot of their own cause. It's just optics.
