interesting read, but my reaction was one of tepid agreement tempered with the aftertaste of a bit of arrogance.
i wish these akademics  would make more purely intellectual propositions without clouding it with the seemingly irresistible urge to make a simultaneous political statement.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
