Flawed Leaders and Heaven on Earth
@matthewjdowd Here is a condensed version of where this ends up. (1/3)
Partisans decide they can tolerate "flaws" in leaders who they deem to be working for the common good, that they will not tolerate in other leaders.
Heaven on earth doesn't come about.

The problem can't be the flaws in the leaders — they're working for the common good. So those not deemed to be working for the common good need to be scrutinized and regulated ever more closely.
Heaven on earth still doesn't come about. 2/3

Eventually, the partisans work their way to tolerating "flaws" in their leaders such as supporting mass oppression of those they deem to be standing in the way of the common good.
And yet, heaven on earth still doesn't come about.
