I can't agree with discrediting comrades that don't hold their tongues for the sake of more civil outreach. I don't disagree with the point Dessalines is making, even if I personally try to go about things in a less confrontational matter. One thing I've noticed is that some people do respond better to "wake-up calls," so to speak, so I let them go and do my own thing.

As for outreach, I do care, I even made an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list, I update it frequently, and try to help explain things in simpler ways. I don't claim to represent all MLs, but education and outreach is a huge part of our role, and our practice.
