| So what is the "good of all"?
Adolf Hitler did seek the good of all - he believed he was benefiting Aryans, and that the Jews/lesser races were being benefited (since they would benefit from dying).
Stalin believed he was promoting Communism by killing anyone who opposed it, therefor creating a utopia for the survivors.
Mao also believed in Communism....even after 30 million people died during the man-made famine ("Great Leap Forward"? No, more like "Great Leap to Hell").
Bin Laden believes the same - after all, only when all Western infidels have been slaughtered, can Islam live in peace.
So is Adolf Hitler, Stalin, and a Soviet tank bearing down on a Czech protestor true humanitarian?
Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you. |
