Absolutely. Building coalitions to defeat US imperialism is THE most important thing we can do. That means working with all who share our values, including libertarians. Fussing about labels is a red herring used by the Langley Boys to stigmatize and poison the well against potential allies. The last thing they want is for the masses to work together in solidarity to achieve common goals. Divide and conquer is their entire plan. Just like the Nazis couldn't control Germany without first dividing people into arbitrary categories based on race, religion, and political affiliation. Funny how anyone who challenges the narrative is automatically labeled "right wing" by the Langley Boys. This is also why I support Bitcoin in capitalist nations, because it challenges the power of centralized banking, the IMF, and doesn't require permission from sticky fingered bankers. It is trustless. You control it, and you can transfer it any time you want, to anyone who holds a smartphone. You can cross the border safely with a billion dollars if you had to. Cash remains the ultimate privacy enabling form of currency. But it is hard to mail without using financial services. That is where Bitcoin comes in. It is also limited in volume, and isn't inflationary. In a Marxist-Leninist nation, the government would have no need for Bitcoin. It would be better for it to control the currency. That is why China understandably has banned it. But in capitalist nations, Bitcoin is the answer to many problems. In El Salvador, it brilliantly adopted Bitcoin as legal tender, because El Salvador got tired of being dependent upon the influence of the IMF and Western banking controls. The President of El Salvador, Bukele, has set the nation on a path toward independence from the United States.

Don't be fooled. The anti-tankies will sit on their butt and quibble all the day long, while never lifting a finger to oppose imperialism - because they actually support it and benefit from it as second tier beneficiaries of colonial extraction - and have zero intent of ever doing anything to confront or oppose it as they're afraid of losing their perks and benefits. Attacking speakers for certain confused political stances they may hold, in addition to being solidly antiwar and anti-imperialist, is just a smoke screen cover for these counter revolutionies' refusal to mobilize against imperialism no matter what. THEY are your enemies, not your temporary anti-imperialism coalition partners.
