Unfortunately, things have not changed enough. The same sectors of the left which seemed to direct most of their fire at others on the left, to the detriment of the struggle against the actual enemy, appear to have learned nothing and forgotten nothing for the last hundred years. For the anarchist sector, the compelling need to focus upon and excoriate Marxism has been going on for 150 years. Your disinterest in building the left is entirely clear. Very little has changed in this respect.
