Imo anarchists and people who even lean that way have a big interest in making sure tankie doesn't get used as an insult for anyone to the left of liberals, real tankies grouped and killed anarchists, letting everyone be called tankies and not just real tankies means Anarchists are less safe.
Yup. Mutual aid and mutual security are closely tied. Any top down heirarchal structure, no matter how temporary you're told it will be, is against the interests of the workers/proletariat/commoner.
Communists worked closely with fascists in Italy to have anarchists killed when Mussolini was in power.
