Four points to take away:
- The phenomenon of becoming that which you are trying to fight
- How ideology is more a circle than a spectrum, and if you keep drifting back too far one way, you find yourself back to back with those you think are your opposite.
- How ideology is a pendulum, always trying to self-correct, and in so doing, swinging to radical peaks one way or the other
- To paraphrase Mark Twain: History doesn't repeat. But it rhymes.
