B. Eliminating the Polemical Aspects of Counter-Revolutionary Action

            Sadly, the idea of presenting the Counter-Revolution in a more "sympathetic" and "positive" light by preventing it from attacking the Revolution is the most efficient way to impoverish its content and dynamism. ⁴⁵

            Anyone who employs this lamentable tactic displays the same lack of sense as a chief of state who, in face of enemy troops crossing his border, were to halt all armed resistance in the hope of neutralizing the invader by gaining his sympathy. In reality, he would destroy the

impetus of the reaction without stopping the enemy. In other words, he would surrender his homeland.

            This does not mean that the language of the counter-revolutionary should not show nuances befitting the circumstances.

            The Divine Master, when preaching in Judea, which was under the proximate influence of the perfidious Pharisees, used strong language. On the contrary, in Galilee, where the simple-hearted people predominated and the influence of the Pharisees was smaller, His language was more tutorial and less polemical.
