      It is very close to the LEAST we can do to rip away the place setting, to let that silverware clatter to the floor, to take even the tiniest bit of symbolic action to show them that actually, no, they aren't welcome.

      That's what the word "parasite" is. A spoon we leave laid out, part of the place setting the Nazis will use to dine. A small symbol of our unwillingness to acknowledge the Nazis in the room. But also? To potential recruits in the room? A sign that maybe we want them there.

      "Didn't you notice that?" That's what the Nazis will say to the recruit, later down the road. "Didn't you notice they'd set the table for us, that they left the chair empty and watched as we sat down?" "Would they do that if they didn't think we belonged there?"

      The Nazi will have kept that spoon. The Nazi will sit down at his own table, with his own dishes laid out and offered to the recruit. He'll hold that old spoon up to the light, make a show of it. And, with a flourish, he'll use that same spoon to dig right in.

      The problem isn't that the spoon is inherently bad, in and of itself. No one is arguing that this specific spoon is an evil or haunted or inherently antisemitic spoon. Devoid of context, it would just be a spoon.

      The problem is, there's no such thing as "devoid of context" in real life. There's no escaping context. The question we have to ask ourselves is, what does this spoon mean in context? And the context is, it's part of a place setting for a Nazi who's sitting down at our table.

      And like, we have other spoons, y'all. We have SO MANY spoons. This one spoon is not doing anything so unique and special that we can't afford to sacrifice it to at least begin to hint that the Nazis have been disinvited.

      The question is, what's more important to you? Is it more important to keep the full set of spoons, because you don't want to lose a single precious utensil from the Grandpa Marx heirloom set? Or, is it more important to you to start the process of disinviting the Nazis?

      And hey, I'm not the one demanding that spoon stay at that place, insisting that it's always been there so it always must be. I'm not the one that created the whole Nazi-spoon situation. Hell, it's very clear the spoon-defenders don't think I belong at this table at all.

      At the end of the day, most of us who are experiencing targeted social oppression on the economic left not so wedded to the fictional idea that politics operate on a single left-right continuum that we won't just pick up and leave "The Left" when that Nazi sits down.

      And you know who that leaves at that table, spoon-clutcher? You. And, the Nazi. Having dinner.

          And remind me again, have you heard the Nazi dinner joke? It goes something like this: Q: What do you call a person having dinner with a Nazi?
