    Just want to say: Thanks for your perennial civility as well as continuing to offer learning resources for people interested in any “sect” of leftist ideology.

      Appreciate the kind words! It’s a tender time, liberals are both more open and more closed to radicalization, depending on how they are interacted with. Lenin has a fantastic quote:

      Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle.

      In shining light on the causes of evil, illustrating ways out of these darker times, and in teaching how to properly struggle against evil, we can radicalize numerous liberals and strengthen solidarity.
