To solve a problem remove the cause

Is there any reason to feel sympathy for the Government? Is anyone owed an income?

By Democracy we choose a collection of leaders but is there any reason that those people should live without providing a service which may be refused?

There is no reason to feel sympathy for the Government, or Socialists. That does not mean that we cannot feel empathy for a person with whom we disagree, as we feel for all others, but there is no reason to pander to views which we reject simply for the reason that they appeal to our more sentimental desires and prejudices.

If people want to continue to believe that initiating violence against others can be for the greater good we cannot allow this (if we are able to prevent it) to be the thought which they hold, if we can help it, for to think this way is not without consequence, these thoughts result in harm. It does matter if people hold damaging political thoughts.

We should not have sympathy for Socialist opinions and we should be brave enough to stand up to the implied physical threat which accompanies such philosophies, if we can dignify these ideas with that term. If we are not scared, we will not be Socialists. The burden of proof rests with those seeking to do violence.

We help with their enlightenment if we question their actions, or cause them to do so. Is it really right to use violence to solve Social problems? Why not remove obstacles? What causes poverty?
