I always like to point out that ex-slave Frederick Douglas bypassed a candidate who was strong for Abolition in order to work with Abe Lincoln, who was willing to keep slavery if it meant preserving the Union.
Douglas decided it was smarter for him to back the candidate who was most likely to win, in hopes that Lincoln could be persuaded once in office.
Wait, what should they have done differently in the Spanish civil war and in case of Rosa Luxemburg in your opinion?
What concession/compromise should they have done in order to stop their defeat by fascists/monarchists?
Or do you mean specifically that the extremists like to talk about those “moral victories” but dont want to contribute to politics and use compromise, without meaning that those examples of yours could have been saved by a compromise?

Pragmatism is intolerable to extremists.
Any concession is viewed as total defeat.
Just like any other zealot, religious or otherwise
Except for actual total defeat, which is seen as a ‘moral victory.’
See “Spanish Civil War,” “The Black Panthers,” and “Rosa Luxemburg”

Obviously, the latter.
Sorry, but internet and all its inhabitants have made me ask for confirmation regarding how something is meant.

What does that even mean?
‘Based’? It’s this week’s word like ‘groovy’. The meaning changes with the needs. Very fetch.
Stop trying to make fetch happen.
So off the chain it’s streets ahead.
6 7?
Whoah now whippersnapper!
I looked that one up.
It means exactly what it sounds like; the young bucks would snap their whips over their horses’ heads to get the poor beasts to run faster.
