Pragmatism and idealism are both useless in isolation— in my opinion, it is best to find a practical way to come closer to an ideal.

When we sacrifice practicality for our ideals, we get situations like nonviolent civil disobedience, where great amounts of people are jailed because they refused to defend themselves. They could have been making change during that jail time.

Sacrificing ideals for practicality should already set off alarms for you. See “left unity” and other forms of submission to statists.
