Every Leftist revolution is like a methamphetamine high.

Beginning (sober): Dissatisfaction with the way things are.
The come up: Elation, extreme euphoria, belief you can do anything.
The peak: Total loss of inhibitions--power high.

The come down: Extreme paranoia. Shadow people around every corner. Put cameras everywhere to watch out for "the cops." Obsessive compulsive behaviors. This period is unpleasantly long.
Chasing: Memories of the good old times makes you double down and try again, harder.

B: Death. Self explanatory. You continue chasing as the pleasures diminish, but the damage 3/
accumulates irreversibly.

Repentance is the objectively better option but it has a bittersweet epilogue:

Wounds. The damage to your body, relationships, self worth, conscience remind you of the error of your ways.
