Yeah, the problem with a lot of “left unity” is it means that calling someone out on something is “disrupting” that unity and is seen as a personal attack. It’s impossible to have a discussion with other types of leftists who refuse to consider positions different from their own, especially when it comes to things like the US or AES.
Hexbear’s form of left unity, where they have certain baseline facts that must be accepted (AES are valid, US state department propaganda is not a substitute for theory etc.) works quite well though, it chases off all the ultras, left-libs and anarkiddies while still allowing people with different leftist tendencies to discuss things reasonably.
