Yes.
This goes against what the other posters have been saying but I don't think they get it.
The price for using fear energy to gain a sense of total domination over your reality is giving up that feeling of pleasurable connection. Darkworkers just live with that.
On the other hand the price for feeling deeply connected is to give up the sense that you are superior or inferior to other people.
(Darkworkers don't want to feel inferior but they care about feeling superior deeply enough that they don't want to transcend that duality and enjoy a sense of equality).

No, you can't. A lightworker isn't defined by principles. He's defined by the energy he uses. Hitler very clearly used fear energy. Now, whether he deluded himself into thinking he was making the world a better place is another matter. A lot of darkworkers do. As they say "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".

On a more serious note, I've got a lot of respect for Asmoday. I see Lucifer as a rebel against tyranny (not a red-horned man goat) and I try to emulate that.

Being on the side of light definitely doesn't mean being on the side of catholicism or any other orthodox social conditioning. Sounds like you want to be "dark" because of the way society has defined "light".

Andrew you ARE talking from a Lightworker perspective as it where. A good role model for a Darkworker would be John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, or Anton LaVey.
These people are the real Darkworkers. Not Hitler, or Mussolini.

Those guys are objectivists, not darkworkers. That's a philosophy based on self-interest but leaving room for the interests of others.
A darkworker wants to be better than everyone. His ultimate desire is total self-glorification, which for him necessarily involves an equal loss of glory for everyone else in his reality, not any sort of rational self-interest. Neither the compassion and burning desire to help which the lightworker feels, or the raging need and desire to come out on top which the darkworker feels, can be explained properly in terms of rational social, psychological or evolutionary thinking.
You could try to fit LW/DW into those thought systems after the event of accepting their reality, but they just are, really.
