Amid the escalations in our class conflict the Ukraine war has brought, the question that the communist movement has increasingly come to be battling over is: can we advance all the parts of our cause, while working with ideological elements that don’t share each of these ideas?

I love how he takes critique as “more points to try to discredit this project”. Something to be “thrown out”, rather than actually leveled. This… Is exactly what I’m talking about when I drag settlers for filth.
