my objection isn't to incrementalism or reform as a practical approach to concrete situations, but to 1) collapsing all radicalism into revolutionary violence and 2) explaining such violence as the contingent result of naive enthusiasm and not a product of fundamental social contradictions

I was not collapsing all radicalism into revolutionary violence. Instead I was suggesting the apparent likelihood of violence being employed to avoid and invalidate more radical policy approaches to our climate crises. Sans lots of care, many (most?) will defend their comfort to the cost of everyone
