The left will always side with evil. They do not seem concerned that the evil will also target them. The definition of insanity.
Hatred fosters vigilance and an uncompromising attitude toward the enemy, and leads to the destruction of everything that prevents Soviet peoples from building a happy life. The teaching of hatred for the enemies of the toilers enriches the conception of Socialist humanism, by distinguishing it from sugary and hypocritical “philanthropy.”This is what defines the left, ultimately. Comes straight from the god of this world.

We hate Christianity and Christians. Even the best of them must be considered our worst of enemies. They preach love of one’s neighbor and mercy, which is contrary to our principles. Christian love is an obstacle to the development of the revolution. Down with love of our neighbor. What we want is hatred. We must know how to hate. Only then will we conquer the universe.
