The requirements for an anarchist project or practical revolutionary program within the class war are not dependent upon a "consensus" with post-leftist types and such. The term concensus itself is suspect since most people take it to mean anarchists only carry out decisions that have unanimous support - something that is completely false [indeed if this were true, mass anarchist organisations with thousands of members would cease to exist].

The oppositional approach to platformism [and sometimes that which isn't oppositional but merely occurs out of circumstance] is the synthesis approach, which allows in all types of self-identified anarchists [individualists included] and attempts to create a mish-mash. Practically, when this approach is a conscious opposition to platformism [ie - when it has no revolutonary program] it fails miserably.
