The fact that some people use a concept for their own uses doesn't invalidate the concept.

I happen to believe in states rights for reasons having nothing to do with segregation, but because it is clear to me that the more remote from the voters a government decision is made, the more likely it is to be abusive and tyranical. I oppose bussing because it perpetuates discrimination. The fact that other people support these concerns for other motives doesn't bother me, and I certainly don't feel "fooled" any more than I feel "fooled" when I advocate the schools teaching students how to write and somebody goes off and uses those skills to write The Anarchist's Handbook, The Turner Diaries, and romance novels.

A concept is not responsible for the the people who believe in it.
