"Progressives should not make the same mistake that Ernst Thälmann made in 1932. The leader of the German Communist Party, Thälmann saw mainstream liberals as his enemies, and so the center and left never joined forces against the Nazis. Thälmann famously said that ‘some Nazi trees must not be allowed to overshadow a forest’ of social democrats, whom he sneeringly called ‘social fascists.’
After Adolf Hitler gained power in 1933, Thälmann was arrested. He was shot on Hitler’s orders in Buchenwald concentration camp in 1944."
Probably it is more what you wanted to hear, or coaxed out of them after being insufferable to them. Like you are being now.

Very useful feature

Being pissed off is fine though. And holding your party brass to account is good in politics… required even.
It’s the little fascists like the user I responded to that make it impossible to unify the left. If you have little wannabe Castro’s, Zedongs and Khameini’s in your ranks, the cure may be as bad as the ailment.
If you think Castro is worse than Harris, you’ve been successfully duped by your masters.

Yeah… keep going… read the article again and keep going. It’s almost as if your goal is chaos and decent.

Excellent! 👍
Wow.
Why? These .ml left wing nut jobs do the same as what the article is about. Sow division and see centrists and moderate left as the enemy… if you are not with us… The article spells it out… Keep infighting at your own peril… And what did the user do… Apparently he’s not afraid of the consequences Thalmann faced, that’s probably because the chaos is what his boss wants.
The German history it gives is a massive distortion of the reality of liberals giving Hitler power. I can copy one of the explanations for you if it is required.
