uplifting the most oppressed within the movement isn't a distraction from "the real work" of the communist movement, it's an essential part of keeping oppressed groups active within it. if you think you can build the movement with only the least oppressed workers, and the handful of racialised, queer, women, and disabled people who can stomach constant prejudice, you're already sabotaging yourself before you've begun. the struggle for revolution doesn't only happen during revolutionary moments, where the mass of people is so dissatisfied that they revolt and the state's usual methods of governance have failed. the overwhelming majority of revolutionary struggle happens in the years, or decades, leading up to that, where we slowly and steadily build the leadership infrastructure, educate the proletariat, and sabotage the state where we can. when you ignore chauvinism within the party, you're hobbling your ability to operate through 99 percent of the revolutionary process
