Is there no need for idealists in this world? Yes, provided they are on the
side of the good cause.  This form of idealism - having high ideals - is not
only not incompatible with Marxism, it is intrinsic to its diallectical essence.

Carry on tilting your lance against your windmills, Rahul, that as you can
already see, I also have my own monsters to tilt my lance against.  There
will always be Sanchos in abundance here to deny, carp, fuzzle, and even
empty a bucket of garbage upon us from time to time.  What can be so bad
about that if that is what their role in life is supposed to be?  Can we not
wash our faces or even take a bath and go on struggling while letting the
dogs bark to let us know we are indeed advancing?
