A couple of questions because I'm still uneducated on these things:

  • Why do anarchists hate Marxists?
  • Are anarchists and ultras the same thing?
  • Are Trotskyists ultras and do they dislike Marxists?
  • What are the differences between Trotskyists, Maoists and Hoxhaists? Are any of them comrades?

Anarchists start from the individual whereas marxists start from the class as a whole. This is the major, starting theoretical difference between the two.

This really clarified it thank you.

If you’re asking because of how we have !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml and !shitultrassay@lemmygrad.ml on lemmygrad, this was mostly to make a difference between right-wingers/centrists and left-wingers in two different communities that already existed, that’s why it’s named shit ultras say.

Yes this was partly the reason and also because I need the knowledge to explain to people the differences between all of these groups.

We follow Lenin because he fucking succeeded, that’s what it boils down to. So clearly he knows a thing or two about making socialism happen.

Really good quote, I'll be stealing this if it's okay with you <3

Thanks for the write up, answered all the questions!

I hope I was helpful too (though I admit that I really should have left it to others more informed peeps).

You were! I just now got done reading all of the comments/responses and haven't had proper time to respond to everyone (mostly due to not knowing what to say/being uneducated or because I don't have time/brain space to properly type out a response). But thank you too of course!

Nah bro, you should write out your answer as best as you can (maybe preemptively tell OP that you are not as secure in your answer as you want to be though) and then other, more informed peeps, can correct you if necessary or you just compare their answers to yours.

There is only one way to get better at writing out information.
