Are you really going to try to win every battle through a pedantry arms race? Because keep it up and you probably will win, yet again.https://twitter.com/ClassFirst2/status/1295729974293430273 …

I'm terribly sorry for insinuating that you thought we had "derailed" something, when you ACTUALLY said we had *wrecked it*. Can you forgive me for this terrible oversight? I'll try to do better in the future, master.

You derailed/wrecked a publication, but our point of disagreement is whether you derailed/wrecked a political project. A publication can be useful for a political project, but it is not in itself one.

Ok, so you thought I was saying that CU was now over and abolished, and are graciously correcting the record by pointing out that this is, in fact, not so? Thank you, I guess? I feel so ashamed for making (?) that argument, which has now been conclusively proven to be wrong.

This isn't a matter of what I thought you said. What you literally said was that the Bellows coup had derailed my "project of class struggle."

Ok, then let me rephrase my point in a way that it can't be misconstrued like this: you identified the bellows as a useful tool in the political project of class struggle, and then your got defeated in a really pathetic way.

You win some, you lose some. The aftermath hasn't been any worse for us than not being involved in the first place would've been.

In that case, what is there to complain about. Your guy got 1/3 of the Kickstarter money (more than he raised) to start a new substack magazine with Ben Burgers. Things are going great, so why keep bringing this up?
