Organizing has a wonderful property requiring one to modulate their politics to their audience and slowly bringing them to your way of thinking... They have no experience toning down their rhetoric for general consumption.

We would do well to apply this criticism to ourselves. People don't change deeply-held political opinions at the drop of a hat; it takes time and effort. Lacking the patience for that, or arguing that we shouldn't have to put in that effort, is fundamentally our problem.

And if the shit you say online would come off as bizarre or off-putting to even a lot of sympathetic people in the real world, how useful is that rhetoric, really?

de-rhetoric Just between us, you may want to lay off this "grind up the bourgeoisie" stuff. It's a bit off-putting, even to fellow communists.
