One thing I think about I genuinely that the left needs to remember is that our love for others has always got to be the guiding principle for everything. Not spite, not hate, not rage, but love. Don't get me wrong all that spite, hate, and rage can be the by-product of love but it can't the whole of politics. My rage against injustice comes from a love of justice and decency for example. I want a just and upright world for everyone, people i know, people i don't know, and people i'll never know. I think my point is that love is important.

Yes, definitely! Love and solidarity. When we're angry, it's because we still care.

100%. I think some people on the left forget sometimes.

I've always thought the sentiment from George Jackson, that a revolutionary is motivated by "perfect love and perfect hate" to be an interesting and succinct expression of this. He frames it like a dialectic, and in a lot of ways, it is.
