Lowest common denominator "anti-capitalism" as a uniting organizing principle may be one of the more frustrating and dumb things I've personally witnessed.
It really boggles my mind that there's people who fall for this bizarre "Left Unity" idea. Some person or group calling themselves "anti-capitalist" or "leftist" 1) doesn't mean they actually are and 2) doesn't mean you have to work with them.
Like, it often makes a lot of sense to not be picky about political tendencies if you're working on an immediate tangible thing. Eviction defense? So long as they aren't trying to co-opt/hijack or otherwise causing problems, the more the merrier.
But when it's a general political org? Makes no sense. What "good work" you manage to do is hobbled by weird lefty problems like fetishizing groups over people, or having a low enough bar for who you work with that suddenly you're doing shit with toxic groups everyone else knows to avoid.
