I read exactly what you wrote and I disagreed with it. There will be no compromises with transphobes, even if we are “losing the war on austerity because of our purity.” I’ve had this exact discussion with parties I’ve organized with. PSL for instance has frequent struggle sessions over transphobia and bigotry. The conclusion I reach is always the same, no compromise with transphobia.
If you’re saying all this shit as some kind of mental gymnastics to justify voting for Democrats or whatever lib party exists for you, just do it. No one cares. Vote for whoever you want and then go back to organizing.
Furthermore you’re a nerd who should stop posting.
You make me want to post more being such a smug prick about it. I agree that we should not compromise with transphobes. Of course. The meaning of my post has been conflated because of the context which is completely fair.
I am speaking about far less black and white issues than “should someone be a fucking bigot or not” but since you’ve tied my post to that concept and have thoroughly congratulated yourself, hooray for you.
My honest question to you is:
What the fuck is a comrade who is fucking sick of being a wage slave to do other than sit on the internet and decide who else to exclude from my list of allies. I currently have ZERO allies. Is it the same for you? How can I change that when I come here only to encounter Marxist hipsters who dismiss EVERYONE and EVERYTHING except that one obscure text that I probably haven’t read about praxis.
I’d love to build a coalition but it appears it’s just an exclusive club that is too cool to attempt to change anything.
did you read anything I wrote?
OF COURSE

Increasing the size of your text is incredibly obnoxious.
