    But I will say “Anarcokiddies get the wall” jokes really don’t help either when they pop up.

    They really don’t.

    I find the constant random shitting on anarchist around here annoying in general

    They annoy me, too, especially when they’re lazy, cheap shots like this low-effort meme. They’re counterproductive.

    I dissuade Party members from putting down people who do not understand. Even people who are unenlightened and seemingly bourgeois should be answered in a polite way. Things should be explained to them as fully as possible. I was turned off by a person who did not want to talk to me because I was not important enough. Maurice just wanted to preach to the converted, who already agreed with him. I try to be cordial, because that way you win people over. You cannot win them over by drawing the line of demarcation, saying you are on this side and I am on the other; that shows a lack of consciousness. After the Black Panther Party was formed, I nearly fell into this error. I could not understand why people were blind to what I saw so clearly. Then I realized that their understanding had to be developed.
