    If you don’t draw hard lines you will inevitably cozy up to class reductionism which can derail the movement. no I will not let racists into the movement. They are fascist because they are misled, it’s both. But we must remain principled and not cozy up to the misled until they have done the necessary, difficult, and longterm work of decolonizing their mind. During a revolution you will have to fire at the misled fascists, you will have both empathy and hatred; it will be traumatic to pity the evil. They are to be pitied, they are to be agitated against so that they may be reformed and redeemed. But they are not to be prioritized nor brought into the movement unless they join us without us unconsciously making a step towards them in an act of opportunism. Empathetic yet principled in distance.
