Let's be accurate. Lenin did not write about anarchists in _Left-Wing
Communism, An Infantile Disoreder_, the wrote about COMMUNISTS, he
praised the people he was attacking, saying that they just hadn't
matured but would be good communists. And the main thing he criticized
int hese left-wing communists was their unwillingness to work with
non-communist groups. You and Lou fit his model of left-wing communism
more closely than do the "anarchists," insofar as they don't claim to be
communists of any sort.

They wer "left opportunist" in that they were too fearful of their
communism being contaminated by bourgeois contact of any sort. They
thought they had to keep pure. Who has in this thread been arguing that
communists should be kept pure from contact with non-communist radicals?
Not Mac.
