Because somebody has to be the grownup?
What I find amusing/sad is that so many people advocating "alternate political systems" find such a large need to distance themselves from the literal mountains of bodies that people advocating their position produced in the name of "social progress". Well, that, and the fact that they tend to encourage others to commit crimes similar to those they've committed in the past and had to get pardoned for...
BTW, where I live, there's a thing called "conspiracy" and/or "incitement"...That's what it is legally called when a person, ANY person, actively advocates the breaking of the law to others in an attempt to get them to violate the law themselves. Not to threadjack, but are the laws regarding conspiracy and/or incitement different where you are?
