One thing I think about I genuinely that the left needs to remember is that our love for others has always got to be the guiding principle for everything. Not spite, not hate, not rage, but love. Don’t get me wrong all that spite, hate, and rage can be the by-product of love but it can’t the whole of politics. My rage against injustice comes from a love of justice and decency for example. I want a just and upright world for everyone, people i know, people i don’t know, and people i’ll never know. I think my point is that love is important.
I’ve always thought the sentiment from George Jackson, that a revolutionary is motivated by “perfect love and perfect hate” to be an interesting and succinct expression of this. He frames it like a dialectic, and in a lot of ways, it is.
Who would win, one million fascist bloodthirsty zionazis baying for the blood of muslim children
or
One cool woman who loves children?
reminds me a little of a quote

I’m with you comrade 🖤
Yes, definitely! Love and solidarity. When we’re angry, it’s because we still care.
100%. I think some people on the left forget sometimes.
