19. Let's point out when it occurs in this group as well

Edited to add/clarify: I would suggest focusing on keeping the message strong in this group, and not allowing interlopers to come in and undermine. In Socialist Progressives our number one rule is "no red baiting" and I will ban folks from the group when I see it. When we post out in General we try to find interesting, educational arguments to make our points but it is much different than what I would post in the group because the audience is so different. I may point out egregious ills of capitalism when it's easy to do so, but I am not out to "convert" folks. They will realize for themselves how horrible capitalism is for most of the people in this world (especially the past few years it's been blatant), and then I'm available to talk to them in the group when they inevitably show up.
