there's a hierarchy here, and we're trying to abolish it, and bring about universal emancipation. and the way we abolish it is that we identify the category that produces the hierarchy and we cause it not to exist. this will surely be unobjectionable to all, including those who we're going to cause not to exist â but, of course, they will object, because they're the category that produces the hierarchy. it will be awfully self-centered, indeed oppressive, for the people we're going to cause not to exist to object to their being caused not to exist, but this is only proof that our diagnosis is correct: they object to universal emancipation because they benefit from its absence, which is precisely why they must be caused not to exist. they're not like us, the pure of heart, who recognize that all beings are equal, and advocate freedom even for those we must cause not to exist
