Please stop this. It is -incredibly- rude and destructive.
I don’t know what’s worse - the people saying that the supporters of this resolution are calling for a purge, or the people saying that those who oppose it don’t support the Party’s principles.
A resolution may sound like a straightforward declaration of principle, but they are always issued for strategic reasons. The fact that some people disagree with your strategy does not mean they oppose your principles or indeed even goals. It’s very destructive to behave as if they do.
Give the reasons for your preferred strategy. Argue passionately for it. But stop accusing your allies of being your enemies.

Please stop this. It is -incredibly- rude and destructive.
I don’t know what’s worse - the people saying that the supporters of
this resolution are calling for a purge, or the people saying that
those who oppose it don’t support the Party’s principles.
A resolution may sound like a straightforward declaration of principle,
but they are always issued for strategic reasons. The fact that some
people disagree with your strategy does not mean they oppose your
principles or indeed even goals. It’s very destructive to behave as if
they do.
Give the reasons for your preferred strategy. Argue passionately for
it. But stop accusing your allies of being your enemies.
