The leftism of the leftist is seriously contributory to the appalling behavior of those leftists who, had they not been doctrinally malformed and misdirected, would have been more human in their faults and less diabolical. The same holds for the fascism of the fascist and the National Socialism of the Nazi.
A further and more difficult question is whether such good doctrines as Christianity which contribute to the goodness of those who live apart from the world among the like-minded in monasteries and convents and other communities of the isolated, so weaken people who must negotiate the world that they cannot effectively counter the evil of those who have been made bad by pernicious doctrines.
