Oh, I get it. You think the way to solve this world wide conflict is just to show compassion, restraint, and moral superiority. And then, suddenly the people who want to eradicate capitalism, and will kill you if they have to, will be touched by your enlightened goodness and all their marxist or islamist dreams will evaporate from their minds like mist burned away by the bright and shining sun. And we'll all suddenly SEE that it's not about fighting for your right to freedom, it's about coming together to celebrate the morality of spiritual elevation which will lift us all above this struggle. Wow, man, you're beautiful. Beautiful, man.

"And then, suddenly the people who want to eradicate capitalism, and will kill you if they have to...."

From this thread I see nothing to indicate they have a desire to destroy capitalism or kill people. Furthermore, I do not consider blocking someone's house from demolition a destructive or nihilistic action. It certainly can't be called Marxist.

No, sometimes they'll still kill you for it. But that was predicted long ago:

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
