Agreed. This goes back to a few of the recent struggle sessions, but I had pointed out a couple of times that if someone can show actual growth from their past selves then that's someone I'd be willing to accept. No one has a straight path to becoming a comrade. Many people here, including myself, used to be Democrats/liberals and have their views over time. There are people here who used to be reactionary and have been able to move on from that time.
