It's not about the greater ideological evil, it's about recognizing what is the primary contradiction and the greatest current impediment to your goals. You can be ideologically closer to faction X than to faction Y, but if faction X is the bigger obstacle right now to advancing the socialist cause then it is X you should be focusing on fighting, not Y.

    On the other hand it's also important to not fall into the "accelerationist" trap (like certain KPD members endorsing hitler to "speed up class consciousness" or something like that)

    Point being, as always with contentious issues there are contradicting forces "pulling" in opposite directions and every decision need to be taken in context and considering all the advantages/disadvantages, short-term and long-term
