Leftist Heretics

The existence of this blog, Censor Free Zone, has -- or rather the contributors to this blog have -- attracted a bit of negative attention from the regular commenters on the blog, Leftist Politics, administered by the Disqus commenter who goes by the handle "newestbeginning". It's not like the blog, Leftist Politics, has not been the target of negative attention on this site, Censor Free Zone, either. 

The Disqus commenter and Leftist Politics blog administrator took umbrage at the (gaslighting?) question by aprescoup -- a contributor to this Censor Free Zone blog -- "The newest beginning you're hoping to usher in is neoliberal new normal fascism, eh?"

(See https://censor-free-zone.blogspot.com/2021/08/debunking-pandemic-official-narrative.html#comment-5484174602 ) The Disqus commenter with the handle newestbeginning commented that she was being accused of heresy, writing "When falsely accused of heresy, it is about 'me'. That idiot [aprescoup] made it so." 

This is the context of "heresy" that I'd like to throw open for discussion, NOT disqus personalities.

For a topic of open discussion, what do you think about leftists accusing fellow leftists of heresy? 

Was newestbeginning unjustly targeted and attacked? Is this a microcosm of the left / the Left destroying itself? What's your honest opinion of leftists attacking fellow leftists? 

(As a disclaimer and confession, I admit that I'm more guilty than most of you, dear reader, of this vile and sociopathic verbal behavior.) 

Are some of us struggling to discover within our core a genuinely radical & personal leftist political-economic ideological philosophy and then authentically working / laboring to bring that philosophy to the forefront on blogs such as Leftist Politics and Censor Free Zone?

Or are some of us deeply closeted reactionaries and deeply closeted neoliberal neo-normal fascists? (Regarding [so-called] "new normalism" see https://censor-free-zone.blogspot.com/2021/08/fascism-newnormalism-and-source-by.html [particularly the section "Fascism and NewNormalism"] and https://consentfactory.org/2021/03/08/the-new-normal-phase-2/ for example descriptions.) 

Does it even matter politically how a person politically self-describes or how we describe others?

Frankly, only actions & behaviors matter. Words, speeches, debates, arguments, polemics, written essays, interviews, blogging are kind of like quasi actions. The messiah is purported to have taught "The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks."

But politics isn't about hearts and minds. It's about the exercise of power and it's about struggle (particularly the class struggle) and it's about taking a stand (such as what hill you'll make your stand on and die on if need be) after choosing a side. Politics isn't about "I identify as (fill in the blank)" or "She / He is best described as (fill in the blank)."

But part of political power is influence. The ruling classes seem to have all the power to propagandize, to leverage, to aggressively coerce. But the lower classes still have some influence, at least with one another. Influence with the state / governments? Some elected politicos might put serving the citizens over serving the wealthy rentiers and capitalists, but (if that's even true) their numbers are few and these politicos have little influence with their fellows.

It's our behavior, our actions which will influence our fellow inhabitants of the unwashed mass, our fellow lumpen. Like it or not, a big part of that behavior is verbal. 

As for the Disqus commenter and Leftist Politics blog administrator, newestbeginning, I'll give her my vote of confidence, for what it's worth, that she's genuine in her struggle to side with the working class.
