I think it's fine that all parties should go about things however they so please. I'm just a little skeptical of the recent anti-democratic bent which seems to have propped up. The person that I encountered was somewhat militant about it. If I'm expected to tow a line that is not in keeping with my own ideals than I don't see why I should partake in any sort of political project.

I'm not suggesting that everyone should have to partake in whatever form of social reconfiguation there is before, during, or, after, a revolution. I'm just rather wary of notions of being against democracy in general. Groups with hateful attitudes towards the police who oppose dialogue constitute mobs. I'm trying to hint that such inclinations could be being utilized to racketeer the movement without making any real accusations, as I only think that there are susceptible parties, without starting a witch hunt. That sort of thing is a thing that does happen.

Perhaps, my fears are exaggerated, but, the Mob did try to co-opt the Anarchist community in the city that I live in. We're still kind of scrambling our way out of that.

One shouldn't adopt positions purely because they are immune to being vitiated, but, from what I can tell, those particular positions do hazard being co-opted by crypto-Fascists. They should not be maligned because of that, but, it is probably the case that something should be done in that regard.

I don't want to be alarmist. It's probably the case that everything is just fine. Everything just sorts itself out naturally anyways. Carry on, I guess.

I'll read this article in a bit. The abstract states that freedom and equality are diametrically opposed which I probably wont agree with, but, I am curious to find out what their argument is.
