    That’s why the Big Tent strategy is pretty good, and depending on the place you may get lots of support. There were even some elements of the petty bourgeois that supported North Vietnam for independence against France and US aggression. And Luna Oi has said before that Vietnam has an anarchist feel to it, not everything is done by the government and plenty of people help each other directly without government involvement, not to say that they don’t reap massive benefits from their Marxist government tho. Her Deprogram guest ep was really good.

        Big Tent in political strategy means joining together towards a common goal. I, Person A, may not share all of the beliefs of Person B. But Person B agrees with me on a vital issue that is of particular (and usually an immediate and urgent) concern for our area. So we join together in a Big Tent Coalition, trying to sway as many people as possible towards our position so that Person C , our common enemy, doesn’t gain any ground. These coalitions usually are short-lived but it’s fine if everyone involved understands the nature of the coalition
