Probably an pointless gesture, but. Completely different context, but there's some nuggets that might be applicable to the zero tolerance posture. Also it's a fucking classic, can't read it enough!

I don't really operate under the zero tolerance mandate, personally and in my organizing I feel like I have to tolerate a great deal of liberalism. Mamdani (only mentioned cuz he's features in the meme and generally regarded positively in this post thread) was backed by NYC-DSA, and that chapter is very much on the right of the org, moderate "Democratic party realignment" advocates, but still very effective, active, organized comrades. We struggle against that tendency of DSA every day, literally spent about an hour talking to a comrade about it earlier. In the meantime, tons of new people are joining the org, many have some kooky ideas and wrongheadedness. To me i need to try and educate, thats the nature of my work and i seem to have a knack for it. Liberalism cant be combatted as an individual ideology, only as a structural manifestation of bourgeois opportunism (incidentally another major insight of Lenin's LWC.)

OTOH, Im not involved in the concerted efforts keeping your instance a safe place. Seems like there's a vicious campaign against your instance that is just completely undeserved. I commend the zero tolerance for racism, transphobia, all forms of chauvinism; and those things def go hand in hand with liberalism.

It's a hard problem. I hope I'm not coming off preachy just sharing my experience. And like you said, this historical phase will sort us out sooner rather than later, one way or the other.
