when leftist say such things as “supporting arm resistance” it’s just make people turn away.

I'm pointing out of what we lose, and don't find any gain for the movement. I'm trying to discuss the concrete effectiveness of our strategies. You know, being materialist and stuff

All right, my apologies I see you mean well.

That being said it sounds awfully like the liberal goal of trying to appease fascists by sliding to the left. People actually like strong stances. Nobody denies that the resistance was necessary during the war. Hell people in ireland recognized that the IRA turned south at some point but that their struggle was necessary.

Have a good day :)
