There's such a thing as looking the other way, which is much, much 
different from "support". I'm certainly no fan of Maoist ideology, but I 
can't really complain when oppressed people rebel. You want them to just 
put up with crap while us enlightened folks draw up the plans for an ideal 
society? Get real.

And while you're getting real, get bent.
