Being part of the evil organization is a material action of support.

I mean that you have to lose the liberalism inherent in western culture.

Liberal idealism tells us that only ideas matter - that someone can be redeemed by having and expressing the right ideas. Socialism is at odds with this view. A materialist view would say that the track record of actual actions (not words) can cause a cumulative qualitative change.

So no, redemption (a singular act/expression by which one becomes redeemed) is not real.
