    Pragmatism is intolerable to extremists.

    Any concession is viewed as total defeat.

      Except for actual total defeat, which is seen as a ‘moral victory.’

      See “Spanish Civil War,” “The Black Panthers,” and “Rosa Luxemburg”

        Wait, what should they have done differently in the Spanish civil war and in case of Rosa Luxemburg in your opinion?

        What concession/compromise should they have done in order to stop their defeat by fascists/monarchists?

        Or do you mean specifically that the extremists like to talk about those “moral victories” but dont want to contribute to politics and use compromise, without meaning that those examples of yours could have been saved by a compromise?
