If you dismiss warnings of totalitarianism out of thirst for justice, you become just another pendulum swing. Not a correction toward Liberty and Justice for All.

Violence is probably going to be necessary. But it should not be viewed as justice. It should be viewed as a tragic necessity. Else we resemble those who would destroy us. We have to not only defeat them, but emerge with our humanity and compassion intact.

This is impossible without fighting for something larger than ourselves.
