We wouldn't be leftists if we didn't have hope somewhere
Yeah. You’re right.
Ultimately we're trying to save all of these assholes. No one is born a liberal or a fascist, it took capitalism and imperialism and endless massacres and a massive hegemonic juggernaut of cultural propaganda to turn entire populations in to this. Remove the poisonous system they're drowning again and they're just normal people.
To fight for what is right is to understand that your enemy is not some incorporeal evil, but simply misguided fools commiting evil acts by chance. While we cant let our empathy make us weak; We also cant allow ourselves to be consumed by a hatred for the fools we fight.
