@kinsey why should authoritarian non-libertarian communists be accepted into the coalition when they advocate other forms of authoritarianism?

@jlou@mastodon.social Coalitions are broad and inclusive, and they come about due to a shared interest. The kind I'm referring to is an anti-fascist coalition, not an anti-"authoritarian" one. This is exactly the sort of political difference that, while meaningful, can be set aside for the purposes of coalition building. The purpose of a coalition is to "unite all who can be united", as Mao put it. With very few exceptions, anyone who agrees with the basic goal of the coalition should be welcome in it, because the point is to have the best chance of accomplishing that goal by bringing together as broad a group of people interested in achieving it as possible.
