You only say that because you in retrospect already know what happened to Brown and Spartacus. They didn't have your sure knowledge that they would not succeed.

If you think fighting for freedom and dignity is moral only in the face of certain victory, then I can only observe that your moral thinking is pretty disgusting.

People are rarely able to predict the future, and I've been involved in struggles where failure was more likely than not, yet we we still fought for what was right.

If we ever get to a place in the world where more people like you exist than like me, then I shudder to think of the consequences.
