Perhaps its the deep-seated sense of failure, the horrific nod towards inevitable collapse, the unmistakable reality of state-sponsored murder and destruction that makes well-intentioned people from the Left treat each other badly, acting cruel in the name of critique. Remember Kronstat? Remember the Bolshevik assault on Ukrainian Anarchists who helped the Reds win against the evils of the White Army? The Left rips itself limb from limb as sectarian forces wrestle for prominence in a misplaced us-verses-them struggle that serves the right. Whatever the reason, working towards respectful critique, celebrations of victories, and joy is the only way to rescue ourselves from the self-destruction, the schizophrenic divisions that allow the ruling class to stay in power.
In the words of Freud, "Man is wolf unto man."
People, please, try to get along!
