> Hence the *principled* and *strategic* insistence on slogans that sound as
off-putting as possible. It's the only way to separate the wheat from the chaff. The only people who would ever respond to a call to abolish all prisons immediately are those who already share the notion that the "final goal" of "taking power" is "everything."

But at some point the group has to let in the moderates else the it will never expand beyond a tiny few, and thus be doomed to irrelevance and / or endless factional feuding and splits.
