I think "be normal" is basically a way of saying "in order to be a successful leftist, you need to be able to function well in groups and communities, and you need to be able to relate well to the average person." Like, look at this story about Trotsky- this is why Stalin won out over Trotsky, because he was more "normal." You can't imagine Mao or Castro acting towards regular people like Trotsky. Trotsky was weird. Don't act like that.
Be normal
Don't be like Trotsky
