Okay, I think I see. I agree with you.
And I don't believe I'm "meta-arguing" but yes, I think you're right about anxiety. I won't press that on you or anyone.
My position is that I'm against paranoia, yes, but I'm also against the complete absence of fear and I suppose that it's best to be "weary" of what we're up against. But honestly, you're right, you and your therapist.
I'll just say that the PSL and other orgs like it are a movement, first and foremost. They're a social movement which may turn into a revolution one day. They're not a secretive organization that will commence a coup or uprising through violence. Leave that to other groups that attempt such a thing (at their possible peril).
Using legal and sometimes extra-legal things is the best way forward for the communist movement; we're too weak otherwise. We need to grow. I suppose that's where I was coming from. And that means not acting out just to "push boundaries" on what's acceptable, if you catch my drift.
I'm not saying you have to be anxious... just... know the possible pitfalls and dangers.
lol idk
It's true that I'm in haste, and usually am, and that I can't sit still because I'm always doing something (due to trauma and certain things in my life).
Right now, I'm studying to be a nurse, but venting out on the Internet; I enjoy both (the studying and expressing my thoughts), but obviously, what I say betrays my state-of-mind, I suppose.
