    So all revolutionaries are either clueless or deceptive but all reformists are philanthropists who dedicate their entire lives to the improvement of society? Fucking please

    How incredibly naive and cynical, both at the same time

      In terms of the current systems we have in the west, yes. In terms of older revolutions no. It wasn’t intended to be a universal statement.

      And I said generally. Not absolutely as your ‘all’ implies. The anchor for what I consider a person with excellent ideals and a beacon for humanity is MLK.

      But you’re welcome to think of me as a moron if it helps you fulfil your outrage needs. Sleeping well at night is important.
