The entire problem with parts of the left is that we splinter. We are prone to dispute and we are prone to not allowing ourselves to be subject to discipline.
In an era where much of the world was still ripe for revolution, our truculence was an asset, not a bane. Now, the Naxalites are downed, the Maoists barely made it in India, Shining Path is dead, most of Latin America is seeing a reactionary backlash, and in the First World, glowie has his boot on our throats.
The first instinct among many should be to infiltrate, infiltrate, infiltrate, but the second should be to subvert, subvert, subvert. By improving our own moral character, by making our own example charismatic through our goodness, the heterodox and the glowies can be moved to our own side.
