     @alks I heard someone talk about how "mulitiplicity" is generally more ideal than "unity". Multiplicity as in a diversity of factions and cadres with different stances, taking on the same enemy like a hydra but without needing to unite in a manner that compromises on other struggles. I think the stop cop city movement is an example of multiplicity in action, and imo I think it has been one of the more effective struggles in the imperialist heartland.

     @alks I know unity is the common stance with the resistance in Palestine. However, it does seem like issues such as patriarchy or bringing forward a socialist society are sidelined in favor of focusing purely on national liberation.

     I think unity always has a price, and it has to be evaluated whether it is worth it or not. I don't blame most Palestinians for thinking its worth it in their context. But I think this consideration has to be context based.

     I think about the revolution in Ayiti as a counter-example of unity being "essential" for a revolution. There were many factions, and at times "disunity" was what saved the revolution such as when the formerly enslaved masses fought against some of the Black generals for siding with Napoleon's plan to bring back the status quo of slavery. The revolution would had probably failed without that "infighting", when the hydra fought the dragon.
