I guess this is the thread where hexbear learns that the student occupations are overwhelmingly organized by anarchist groups who don’t like the PSL
not what I have seen at all. it isn’t just being “overly sectarian” it is anticommunism-- literally fed shit. they risk a whole lot to pull this off and then use their statement to shit on communists
Take it from someone who sat in at encampment planning meetings where the specific question “should we involve the PSL” was asked and answered. The perception among organizers was that PSL is using events like this to drive membership instead of organizing to accomplish a specific goal like divestment. I don’t agree with that assessment and think of myself as a communist and like the PSL but that is what I saw.
idk, that’s one example, and even if I disagree I can see why someone might say that. that is something anarchists say about every organization because anarchists don’t “recruit” really. but I have more than a few direct counterexamples I have personally witnessed, so I would not say that encampments are primarily organized by anarchist groups. that is probably just something that varies from city to city

Anarchists when Communists want to support their project
Anarchists when Communists have a project they weren’t invited to
