Wars are won by incremental battle victories...we need to remember that in this “war” as well. FRed’s approach is a good battle plan.

Hello,

Exactly. We must start small, just like they did. The idea that we can win the last battle, the biggest battle, FIRST, is simply not going to happen.

The incrementalist arguments have their roots in Hegel’s philosophy - which led to Marx, Engels and Lenin.

It works great for evil, but very poorly for good.

You can add poison to a cup of wine incrementally, and make it a poison cup.

But, if you add wine to a cup of poison, you will not end up with a cup of wine. It will still be a poison cup.
