“He stepped to the window and pointed to the skyscrapers of the city. He said that we had to extinguish the lights of the world, and when we would see the lights of New York go out, we would know that our job was done.”
- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

The function of the good side is to always winning the battle but never to be the victor.
