    they would be able to engage me, the human in front of them, without all the baggage of the movement establishing preconceptions.

      In an ideal world, the Red Scare would not have existed, and we could discuss the genuine merits and struggles faced internally and externally in AES without that clouding discussion. Its why I prefer talking with comrades about the shortcomings in AES, as I know they aren’t doing it to undermine the achievements but to legitimately identify problems to solve.

      I think, despite all of the struggles, that I do an okay job with engaging people open to listening.
