That’s a really good point.

Maybe I read the tweet as being more aggressive towards Hakim than it was, because reading the word opportunism I just immediately assumed it’s accusing him of not being a real communist or whatever, instead of just criticizing what he’s doing right now.

Thanks for pointing it out, I’ll try to be more mindful of that.

Also to add, distinguishing s person from their actions is also something we should avoid. He is criticizing Hakim AS the Hakim who is doing this. Not just Hakim as a person or Hakim’s actions. But redoing through self-crit changes the incorrect person too and makes this not some “heavenly stamp” as I called it. We just can’t be scared of being critiqued for our actions as ourselves, because our actions can’t be removed from “ourselves”
