Being part of the evil organization is a material action of support.
I mean that you have to lose the liberalism inherent in western culture.
Liberal idealism tells us that only ideas matter - that someone can be redeemed by having and expressing the right ideas. Socialism is at odds with this view. A materialist view would say that the track record of actual actions (not words) can cause a cumulative qualitative change.
So no, redemption (a singular act/expression by which one becomes redeemed) is not real.

That’s a valid critique. His track record of change doesn’t really extend past promises that he’s different.
I agree, thanks for hearing me out!
That’s how a dialectic is supposed to work, right? Rational back and forth to narrow down the truth?
