I’d rather live under a liberal democracy than a stalinist or maoist state.

I’m an anarcho-communist. I support the abolition of hierarchy. Not the creation of new ones.

I’m disabled. While I’m allowed a meagre but survivable existence under liberal democratic welfare states, I would have been murdered in Stalin’s great purge or the Maoist cultural revolution.

I will not turn a blind eye to people who murdered my kind just because they are also against capitalism.

You can say all you want about unity. But once the bolsheviks took power they executed anarchist dissidents. Similar things happened in other authoritarian “communist” states. You can’t shame me into supporting people who would kill me once in power.
