Hopefully not. I see authoritarian socialists and communists to be in the same boat as neo-nazis.

Please explain to me why I should "get along" with groups that apologize for Mao's massacres or Stalin's long regin of terror?

I'm willing to work with anti-authoritarian Marxists, socialists, and communists.

Liberals? Forget about it.

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE

An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
