Hey, Haui
You’ve blocked me, so I doubt you’re gonna read this
Anyways, I’m sorry for attacking you like this, it’s just that I’m often hypervigilant about newcomers in leftist spaces who come off as patsoc-adjacent because patsocs often wreck leftist spaces and I didn’t want Lemmygrad to follow the same path. I hope you understand and will try to be better rather than merely be reactionist in the future.

    I feel, Haui is rightly trying to grapple the contradictions of how to grow mass movements amongst these reactionary masses and what concessions - that’s right concessions- does a western vanguard of scientific socialists have to consider while doing its best to avoid tailism.

    giving “concessions” to these reactionaries means throwing at least one minority group under the bus

      Chances are that I will be included in that minority. I think concession here is not tailism but rather here is a common ground we can work on and the stuff we disagree on we as socialists will not resort to tailism.

      Also when I mean reactionaries I don’t just mean social conservatives. I also mean the socdems and socdem apologists such as the Mamdanis and Corbyns of this world.

        i am not willing to entertain sacrificing an oppressed group to gain fickle and reactionary allies and am deeply suspicious of those that are

          Cool. Let’s cut to the chase: who did I say we should throw under the bus?

            when i replied to your comment it only contained “Chances are that I will be included in that minority” which combined with your first comment i took to mean that you were at least ambivalent to the idea

              Fair enough.
