    This reminds me, Especifist anarchist use the concept of tendency groups to manage such relationships / alliences.

    Personally, I am pretty happy to work together with people and groups that are very similar / identical in 2 of 3 of these points:

    • we have pretty much the same goal
    • we organize similarly
    • we want to do similar / same praxis

    One cannot really build an alliance with an ideology. Alliances are between people. I would be open to allying with people variously influenced by or holding to any ideology that does not itself ally with fascism.

      Agreed. In many ways the idea of ideology is a reductive concept. All ideologies hold some amount of merit and problems. If you try hard enough, there is even a decent argument to be made for kings (no, I’m not arguing for kings, I am simply using it as a talking point). I really don’t subscribe to any one ideology, and I don’t think most people here do either. I like aspects of anarchism, socialism, communism and georgism, all have merits, all have problems. I suspect most people here are the same, we all come to different conclusions from different life stories. We recognize the problem, but our plan for the future by no means has to look the same. Honestly, the “leftist infighting” is our greatest strength, not a weakness.

    I’ve never seen myself as communist; but i always loved the idea of a clean future with sustainable energy that a lot of communist groups and countries seem to share. So i often side with them on this principle and the idea that capitalism is very harmful to the people, the culture, the environment and it needs to be scaled back.

    I fight the battles of today while planning for the battles of tomorrow. Today, I’m willing to alliance all the way over to the Dems, because today’s MAGA conservatives pose an existential threat.

    Once that threat is contained, my alliances shift left to the SocDems.

    Once that battle is done, my alliances shift left to the DemSocs.

    And so on, one battle at a time.
