    You said you'd support him even if he was a full right wing nutjob innit? That's completely fucked

    The incoherent little guy that he is? Sure, but that's not what you said. Problematic people who hit the right target still have potential, but there's a limit.

      There is not a limit provided the right targets are hit.

      Everyone on this site critically supporting Iran, Assad, Russia, etc etc is supporting far worse than a right winger who targets the ruling class for exactly the right reasons that are beneficial to the working class.

      You're looking for reasons to drop him instead of focusing on the important aspects of class war - Does this benefit our side in the class war? If the answer is yes, then support should be given. Just as is done with anti-imperialist war.

          Thought you were one of the others. I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

          In anti-imperialism we ask ourselves the central question: Does this benefit imperialism or does this benefit anti-imperialism in the world?

          If the answer is imperialism, we oppose it, and vice versa for the other, even in cases where they may be religious fundamentalists that do incredibly bad awful things like current Iran.

          In class war our attitude should be the same: Does this benefit the working class or does this benefit the bourgeoisie?

          If the answer is the working class we should support it, regardless of the issues with the person carrying it out.

          A lot of people aren't taking "class war" seriously enough.
