Parties of Hope

An unjust society, full of lies, is the joint accomplishment of its intellectual and proletarian classes, the changes desired by each as necessary for its creation proceeding hopefully forward together. In this event, traditional definitions of truth and justice must be altered, truth being redefined among the intellectuals toward the destruction of justice and justice being redefined in the proletariat toward the destruction of truth. While no political party is immune from this dynamic, certain of them approach its embodiment.

Very likely. An example or two might be helpful.

We should not forget that the propensities of both classes are prompted by the same ol' motives: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Intellectuals are irritated by truth and commoners challenge justice for the same reason: they interfere with the whims of our fallen nature.

If God seeks those who will worship...i.e. who will conform their hearts and minds to His nature...in spirit (including our sense of justice) and in truth, no doubt our enemy undermines us at precisely these same two points.

You're right. Our battle is not against the other class...or even the other political party (Ephesians 6:12). If another group has a more openly cordial relationship with the enemy than does ours, we dare not be tricked into seeing our own flanks as thereby less vulnerable.
