I'm not saying "flee" so much as "retreat and regroup," and I am *absolutely not* saying "cower." Quite the opposite in fact!
Get to somewhere where you're actually capable of doing some good, help the people there build up a solid base, and make the positive change happen somewhere where it will be welcome. Then let that serve as an example of how it ought to be. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works."
The extreme-left ideological crazies will never be persuaded, but there are plenty of people who aren't them, who go along with the default because it is the default, because they simply don't know any better. By working effectively to show a better alternative, you can help them in ways that are simply not possible if you remain in a situation in which you are powerless.
if we all cower and flee, nothing will change.
