    Tankies quoting Hannah Arendt when she specifies that she’s speaking specifically about totalitarian societies, and not even dictatorships; much less actual functioning democracies. Average tankie reading comprehension. Or, in Hannah Arendt’s words from the same essay…

    Those who denounce the moral fallacy of this argument are usually accused of a germ-proof moralism which is alien to political circumstances, of being unwilling to dirty their hands; and it must be admitted that it is not so much political or moral philosophy (with the sole exception of Kant, who for this very reason frequently stands accused of moralistic rigorism) but religious thought that most unequivocally has rejected all compromises with lesser evils.

    You keep the fascist dogma up, buddy. It’ll save your soul someday. :)
