idk i think effective organizing is about carefully determining what specifically actually matters, some universalizing variable, and using that to unify and align the infinitely-complex diversity of human experiences.

so like, for leftism, that universalizing variable is broadly being working class. and i'm willing to tolerate an incredible amount of things i disagree with and even things that are directly harmful to myself if it means furthering leftist / working class interests.

if i'm gonna exclude someone from a movement based on any given variable, believing in a higher power is most definitely not it. organizing in a rural area as a queer person, i regularly encounter some vile/dangerous shit, religion isn't even on the radar (in and of itself).
