      I’m not even a communist. I just try not to dismiss people with an attitude like that.

      As you said, sometimes it’s not worth engaging, but… you did, and were a jerk about it.

      If you can’t acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, the poor and downtrodden banding together to advance their own interests might improve their lives, I dunno what to say. That it might not? That they’d just be stopped? That human nature will prevail and tear it all down?

      Maybe. Might be worth trying. I know that’s a pipe dream, and so do you, but let people have their goddamned dreams. Maybe someday they’ll turn into something more.
