And, of course, nothing should be supported unless it somehow ultimately serves communist aims. For instance, this morning I saw an old woman getting beaten up by some thugs. I almost interceded, but then thought to myself, "Wait a second, old boy! You have forgotten the communist categorical imperative! Will helping this old woman somehow ultimately serve communist aims? Evidently not -- indeed, it may well sap some of the strength I need for The Struggle! Screw the bitch!" It was a narrow escape. Think -- I almost violated my Communist Purity by helping an actually existing suffering person! Can't have that, no no.
