I definitely agree that Prashad isn't doing the 'marxist not NL' thing for aesthetics, but I dont yet see how he can seek unity but not comrpomise on principles. Just taking Chomsky as the example, how does that look to you? I guess I'm fine on hexbear being a unity platform, but I would not organize or call people on here i disagree with inspiring or anything.

But for the rest, I agree, I should've made my initial comment a bit less enthusiastically (if I remember right, I was just done with a pretty intense argument and feeling a bit moody lol). I like Prashad, I just think his unity stuff is weak, personally, and think that less-than-ideal strategy of his comes out in lots of works. But I'm open to change on that, tbh, the distance between he and I is not that big
