    It means that the focus of our criticism should be against the right, rather than those on the left.

    It is an encouragement for those on the left to put aside our disagreements about how we can reach the better future we are all fighting for, and instead fight those who want to silence and oppress us, and those who put the interests of the ruling class before the needs of the working class.

      That’s going to fail immediately when the far left continue to portray “mainstream” Democrats as center-right and pro-fascism.

        What do you mean? By “mainstream Democrats” we mean people like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, they’re more unpopular than ever with their own base, and they very clearly put the interests of the ruling class before the needs of the working class. They are right wingers who support Israel’s genocide, they’re not anti-war, they don’t support Medicare-for-All. They’ve got to go, 100%.

            Does “don’t punch left” mean you can punch anyone slightly to your right?

            It means that the focus of our criticism should be against the right, rather than those on the left.
