cannibality:

class war is an actual and non-metaphorical war, which means we need actual and non-metaphorical tactics and strategics. you don’t get to just declare that recreating the Charge of the Light Brigade at any possibility is a moral imperative, because there are no moral imperatives in war. there is only that which will help to destroy our enemies and that which will not help to destroy our enemies. you and all of your comrades trying to hold an indefensible position, refusing to withdraw, and all going to jail does not help to destroy our enemies. it’s liberal, individualist grandiosity which has no regard for our collective struggle or the urgency with which we must be pursuing victory.

“What is basic guerrilla strategy? Guerrilla strategy must
be based primarily on alertness, mobility, and attack. It
must be adjusted to the enemy situation, the terrain, the
existing lines of communication, the relative strengths, the
weather, and the situation of the people.
In guerrilla warfare, select the tactic of seeming to come
from the east and attacking from the west; avoid the solid,
attack the hollow; attack; withdraw; deliver a lightning
blow, seek a lightning decision. When guerrillas engage a
stronger enemy, they withdraw when he advances; harass
him when he stops; strike him when he is weary; pursue
him when he withdraws.” – Mao, On Guerrilla Warfare
