I find it hard to muster up any feelings of solidarity with this particular group of American imperialist propagandists.
Solidarity shouldn’t be a quid pro quo deal. Some workers and other lower‐class people that you meet are going to have reactionary ideas—that’s simply an inevitability—but that isn’t a good enough reason to let them suffer. In fact, if they’re desperate for help then they’re more likely to reconsider their reactionary ideas. If a houseless American finds out that she’s been regularly receiving food and shelter from a communist, it may be hard for her to process at first, but she’ll almost certainly reeaxmine her anticommunism.
I completely agree here. Do you have a comment to make relevant to this topic?
