stop pretending that goons that volunteered to destroy mine and many others entire country to better their own material conditions would make good comrades.

    No revolution has ever been successful without military members switching sides and becoming revolutionaries. Name one, you can't.

    This take serves only to divide the left from the people that absolutely must switch sides for any win to occur. Will they be a core part of what starts it all? Probably not. Does that mean that the left should be taught to reject reaching out to them? Fuck off, no.

    Think about what is mechanistically important here. Telling the left not to reach out and that it will never ever happen is not useful, it serves no purpose that takes any step towards the goal and, in future at the correct time, it may itself become a barrier if it propagates.
