Y'all, as a baby leftist who still has All The Reading still to do. This whole back and forth has been fascinating to read. Also, kind of disheartening.
A billion offshoots of Christianity killing each other over how/whether they dunk their babies. Liberals/Lefties in the US pissing each other off and leaving a nice opening for the fascists.
What is with us as a species that we almost seem to prefer arguing fine points with people who we largely agree with while the actual enemies of a common cause laugh and win.
Like I said, fascinating read. Just... "more unites us than divides us" and all that?
This kind of behavior really isn't common, especially not in real-life organizing. Don't be disheartened! Also, if you want a place to start with reading theory, I made an intro Marxist-Leninist reading list you can check out!
