Picture: 10th Panchen Llama getting downvoted to hell

Beginning:

Listen, as much as you guys like to sprinkle a bit of Maoist lingo at times, the way you make this term "struggle session" sound like is that of a petty squabble...

But, as Mao Zhuxi said, revolution is not a mere dinner party... and so was the argument

For that, I shall argue the champagne argument...

What you call a "struggle session" can be, at best more accurately referred to as an online argument, or in more MLM term, a criticism or even a 'self-criticism session;, to be specific...

You want to know the difference? Here I shall cite Wikipedia

Definition and Experience

Here's what a criticism

"Fu the Enforcer and Cadre Huang had frequently subjected Erica and me to criticism sessions. It was like being summoned to the principal's office in high school—not pleasant, but not devastating either. A struggle session, on the other hand, was brutal and vicious. I was relieved to hear that it had been merely a criticism session."[18]

You can imagine what that entails, but no need

To be more exact, according to Wikipedia, the definition of it is:

violent public spectacles where accused class enemies (or more accurately, capitalist roaders) were publicly humiliated and psychologically exhausted, if not beaten and tortured near to death by the local people (Partially edited)

If you have a better definition and source for this, inform me immediately

**Critique **

So, following by this definition, I will say for sure this:

If your "struggle sessions" were anything serious in their propositions, as to be spiritually faithful in the vein of true MLM ones, it would include: more modern Synanon-esque techniques, but with a twist of decentralized and democratic Maoist mob justice, to psychologize agonize reactionary elements...

Something like doxxing may even utilized in this contemporary era

All of this, with the purpose to break down the large landlording, industrialist, and financier capitalists, and their influence on society, which is culture, to make a new one.. Especially in regards to finance comprador and fascist elements

My conclusion: Thus, in my final thoughts on this, to utilize such as term is too reductive and hyperbolic to say the least...

That being said, these tactics seem wildly counter-intuitive and self-destructive, in my opinion, but that's for another time

However, for now, I should have now clearly made my case on the distinction between criticism sessions and struggle sessions

Notes: Damn me if you want with emojis, or even call me a Wyatt the Redditor, but I will stand by this point...

I say this half-jokingly but half-seriously on my point...
