      9/ I made the mistake of debating some of those issues yesterday, which just muddied the waters. There is one matter of absolute principle here: dishonestly and recklessly accusing someone of being a pedophile to score political points is absolutely out of bounds.

      10/ The Bruenigs, Burgis, and Beijer are apparently willing to accuse political opponents on the Left of the most heinous things imaginable without offering a shred of evidence. As far as I can tell, they and their followers don’t care at all if the accusations are true.

      11/ There are not a lot of bright lines in politics. Accusing people you disagree with – and anyone who objects as well – of being pedophiles and child abusers, though, with reckless disregard of the truth? That is absolutely beyond the pale.

      12/ I would never want to be in a political organization with anyone who would do such a thing. They would have shown themselves to be entirely without scruples.

      13/ I have been called a misogynist by TERFs. I have been called an antisemite by Zionists. Whatever. Being called a pedophile by socialists because I, a fellow socialist, objected to reckless and evidence-free accusations of pedophilia? That’s special.

      14/ So: I think there are only two acceptable things for the Bruenigs, Burgis, and Beijer to do at this point. 1. They can produce evidence that Berlatsky is a pedophile, or 2. they can apologize to him for having smeared him in this baseless and cowardly way.

      15/ If they won’t do either of those things, then I would urge everyone to avoid political allegiance with them like the plague.

      Actually, that's not quite true. Pedophilia is a psychological condition (sometimes acted on, often not). Racism is mix of belief/action. But agreed they are different types of things.
