    Do not interrupt your enemy when they're in the middle of a mistake.

    If they start talking about class it will benefit the left much more than the right. Even when it's wrong. Moving people from an incorrect conception of class politics to the correct one is massively easier than moving people from culture war to class politics.

        I'd be more positive about this if mangling class consciousness to bash "the left" wasn't part of every fascist ideology.

          Which is unfortunately correct. That they are misusing our terms means we have a chance at controlling the conversation. If we do not step in and take control of it, somebody else will.

        I see this as a good sign. It shows communists are in their heads and that the topic of class is visible enough frequently enough for them to think about it and feel the need to talk about it. A sign of good things.
