I thought I was avoiding that by focusing on just the icon and banner, but I realize now that I may have been ingauging in another form of liberalism by trying to treat the icon and banner in isolation in the first place, as things only make sense within the context of how they interrelate with other things, not taken in isolation.

Thank you for your criticism, I will try to learn from this.

God Im so glad I found this site. People on the internet actually taking criticism is such a rare thing to see. Long live Criticism and Self Criticism!

You are committing the fault that Mao also rallies against in Oppose Book Worship. Stop applying various analysis in the works you read as gospel. Every situation requires a pragmatic approach reliant upon the context of the situation. If you become paranoid about needing to “avoid liberalism”, to the extreme, every problem becomes a nail because you’ve only given yourself one tool.

I am not aware of how I am treating it like gospel (perhaps because my childhood trauma had to do with religion and set me like a fire against it, I don't understand "gospel" in the first place), my fears and paranoia are not related to Theory in that way, thanks to the conditions of my mental health and trauma and life difficulties and so on, all before I ever read anything, so that error had more to do with my fear and paranoia mental patterns popping up and taking over without me realizing I was, and so became primary and attempts to make sure I wasn't messing up in some way by remember Theory I've read, secondary, other comments were more helpful.

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985
