According to dalrymple in the "how—and how not—to love mankind" essay, there is a temptation, particularly among members of the intelligentsia, to suppose that one's virtue is proportional to one's hatred of vice.

Dalrymple does assert that this temptation exists; however, he goes on to immediately debunk the idea, which is a quote by Marx. He does this by pointing to Marx's own life. His failure to maintain a family life while simultaneously arguing for the ability of the common working man to have one, points to this.
