    Chavez’s crimes never came to light until after his death because everyone was so scared of the movement being dismantled.

    They should be spoken about and addressed properly, but they don’t. And that’s the problem I’m speaking directly about.

    I don’t want to hear more cheers for class war over everything else. We can tackle multiple problems at once without sacrificing women and girls.

      That is correct.

      For me the motto means that we shouldn’t disconnect gender problems and others from the class war but that they should be fought as one issue. They are deeply connected after all

        I’m still pretty disillusioned by the rage shown by some on the left at Platner’s crimes being discovered.

        They are deeply connected, but I rarely find people who actually recognize that.

          I understand. I don’t think we as leftists should be glorifying individual people. It leads to a lot of problems and can really destroy a movement.

          This works both ways. I don’t think we should glorify or villify individual people because they are mostly a product of their environment. I thinm leftists should disagree with great-man-theory

          Also I love that we have a proper discussion about this topic and that you actually engaged with my arguments.
