I agree in part. The problem I see is that as society falls apart (accelerated the Communist agenda but not entirely their fault), the social structure for educating and integrating high-functioning psychopaths also collapses and more of them will find themselves in a world with no reference to fine-tune their (simulated) moral compass. It creates an environment where such opportunists can act without guidance on their natural tendencies. Same is true for everyone, but especially psychopaths in this case.

And I'd say we don't have to become monsters to fight them. Empathy can coexist alongside ruthlessness, charisma, and self-worth - in fact, it makes you better at wielding these personas and lets you know when you've gone too far.

P.S. Additionally, psychopaths end up running virtually every Communist regime in history, although Vladimir Lenin was a man of some principle with a good heart. He died regretting what he had done.
