@MakBerberovic You're presuming a few things here: that like-minded people aren't already working together to solve problems in ways that aren't oriented towards respectability and that therefore don't dilute political messaging and goals (why do I need to convince a skeptic and alienate an ally rather than just working with the ally?); that a mass movement is necessary for effecting change, even if it requires diluting political messaging and goals (are we going to take a vote or something? why do I need a mass movement even at the cost of being unable to openly name my beliefs and goals?); and that it is possible to create a meaningful mass movement by naysaying political messages and goals you ostensibly agree with in the service of not offending potential recruits (what happens when my mass movement is filled with people who disagree with me after I publicly disavow my own beliefs and goals?).

I'm kind of surprised you're on the anarchist server with this sort of approach negl. If recruitment and respectability are essential, even above actual political commitments, the word "anarchy" shouldn't be in your vocabulary except as something to distance yourself from.
