I don’t think it’s at all pedantic to point out that supporting capitalism doesn’t make you a Capitalist. You can’t have class consciousness without realizing the distinction.
It would be pedantic if you were pointing out an insignificant distinction. This is not that.
Talking down to people does the opposite of fostering solidarity.
I think it’s much more condescending to allow people to remain ignorant than to simply give them the right answer just so you don’t offend them if they happen to have fragile ego’s. I for one appreciate being corrected about things I am wrong about.
