    It’s a natural tendency for authoritarians to select individuals as representatives of movements. It’s easier to slander individuals than ideas, and it aligns with their beliefs in heroes and villains.

      Are you saying these people were authoritarians?

      Or are you calling me authoritarian since I’m laughing at the idea that leftism was common among abolitionists?

      Because I’m just correct. Sorry it hurts your commie-feels or whatever.

        I’m accusing you of cherry picking negative examples to reinforce your narrative. There is no confusing abolitionism if you have enough integrity to understand what the word means. It’s easy to pick examples of people who lack integrity so that you can taint a movement with the sins of the individual. I can tell all I need to know about your beliefs from your tactics.
