I was thinking a few months ago that empathy might be the core of the entire revolution, since overcoming the alienation of our neoliberal capitalist shit hole society is kind of the entire point. I'm still not sure if I was libbing out. But the negation of the negation is the negation of alienation, is it not?

At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.

I think it still requires some sort of shared reality and not disparate alternative dimensions where good is actually evil

I think a shared reality without empathy is only possible if everybody is the same. Since everybody is not the same, we need empathy. And I'm probably naive but it seems to me that empathy is anti-evil.
