I was kind of goofing, but also serious. In the Jacobin debate, I was unclear on what Dean meant. I assumed at first she meant the exact kinds of lines you draw here, which I'm totally behind, but I couldn't figure out why she brought it up, and brought it up so forcefully, when the anarcho contingent had already, and even more forcefully, made it clear they were all about sharpening the conflicts between the occupation and the ruling forces. That led me to believe that she was talking about the necessity of *conflicts* within the occupation. But really I'm not sure.
