Whaddayou know? The Russian idea that human lives are expendable in delivering a Utopia-like nation state is behind both Vlad Lenin and Ayn Rand's models. Harden yourself to the suffering of your opponents because the ends justify it.

Odd thing. There are those of us who notice the cost and see the journey as more important than the destination.
