    I object that it is necessary to believe that these actions will lead to harm reduction, although I do agree that these actions are much better classified as harm reduction attempts (whether effective or not) than direct action.

    It’s an egregious category error, especially in a discussion supposedly for leftists.

        And I agree with you about the importance of harm reduction. I know we won’t all always agree on the most effective methods, but I can appreciate anyone doing what they personally believe will reduce suffering in the world.
