The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.

Hence where the term useful idiots came from. Or at least it would make sense if it came from the utilization of scoundrels by people of a higher station.
There will always be a group of humans that fulfill the need of easily managed folk.
Maybe it is oppression. But maybe it is nature.
