Ping a mod if you put a lot of work into an effort post so it can be pinned and featured.
Posting old struggle sessions is fine, but absolutely no relitigating them in the comments.
Open arms no, but if they're willing to kill fascists then I'm open to some sort of reeducation/service to prove loyalty.

I should say I'm only half-jokint about the BR collar. Some form of discipline/surveillance must be done with former centrists/liberals in the coalition who might turn reactionary so that they don't go and hijack the movement.
They can join as junior (controlled) partners. What this looks like in an electoralist context I honestly don't know unless you have union power substantially higher than it is.
