My personal favorite from the Eugene Dabs collection.

Beautiful. And it illustrates a point I often like to make.

The purpose of the critique part of critical support isn't to get the "revisionists" to do what you want. They aren't a party member with some bad takes they're a dictatorship of the Proletariat trying to navigate their own contradictions. They will fuck up. They will appear to fuck up, but actually successfully navigate a crisis in an annoying way.

If you're a successful AES party, dialogue on tactics is important, but on the question of working together for success not on calling each other revisionists or ultras.

And of course there's the point at which a party like the Khmer Rouge becomes so distorted that it becomes impossible to support, but this should be vanishingly rare.

The purpose for those of us who are still revolutionaries and not general secretary is to take our analysis and critique on board for own own situations. Even takes on foreign policy, while they must be grounded in socialist theory and basic human compassion, must be viewed on how they are useful for our own conditions.

How can we use this to help organise? How can we use this to modify our own theory to resolve internal and external contradictions? How can we use this as an ideological brickbat on the ruling classes and their support?
