The piece reflects on the infighting among progressive forces, which often escalate to intense rivalries, ultimately undermining their collective strength against common adversaries. When these forces fail to unite against a shared enemy, they eventually find themselves imprisoned, persecuted, or exiled together, discovering a stark commonality in their struggles and suffering. The narrative delves into the futility of past confrontations, suggesting that instead of learning from their experiences, they often devolve into a victim mentality that romanticizes their failures instead of catalyzing a resurgence of cooperation. Years of struggle lead to a cycle of disillusionment, where once democracy is restored, the potential for repeated mistakes becomes evident as old rivalries resurface despite the lessons that should have been learned from their history.
