LEFTIST Ignorance

What sickens me about left-wing people, especially the intellectuals, is their utter ignorance of the way things actually happen.

George Orwell

Liberals vs Conservatives With Blacks

The Liberal is more deceitful, more hypocritical than the Conservative. Both want power, but the White Liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor… The American Negro is nothing but a political football, and the White Liberals control this ball through tricks or “tokenism,” false promises of integration and civil rights.

Malcolm X

“Progressives”

These are more accurately described as “regressive,” representing an earlier stage in human development when the common man had no say in the governing of his society. Today’s “progressives” are the enemies of democracy and the values of individual freedom and liberty. They were the ones during the Communist Chinese-produced COVID plague dictating the imperative of immunization or losing one’s job and the obligation to wear face masks.

We Need to Overrule the LEFT

With few exceptions, the Left as we know it today has rejected populism out of hand, embracing instead Big Government, Big Business, Big Banks, Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Labor, Big Ag, Big Media, and Big Entertainment. For the most part, today’s Left is hard at work fortifying the power these institutions wield against the rigors of democratic accountability.

Thus the only hope for a sustainable, democratically legitimate populist reform movement today is on the Right. The question is whether the leaders of the movement can harness the highly negative energy from which the populism emerges and channel it toward a coherent, positive politics of national renewal and reform.

Losing Our Freedom

When words lose their meanings, people lose their freedom.

Confucius. Cited by Jeff Myers & David A. Noebel, Understanding the Times: A Survey of Competing Worldviews, pg.168

Common meaningless words nowadays, slowly eroding our freedom, are marriage, male, female, terrorist, climate, hate crime, fetus and many more that you can probably think of.

What LEFTISM Is About

At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.

P.J. O’Rourke

LEFTIST Politics

 Leftist politics are one part perpetual outrage, two parts magical thinking and four parts pagan godhood. The old days when powerful men could pretend to be gods were dashed by religion and then democracy. Until socialism, wealth bought you only so many privileges. Now it buys you the privilege of looking down and toying with the less well off in the name of social justice.

Daniel Greenfield, The View From Mount Olympus

LEFTIST Ideology Doesn't Work

We Need to Fight the LEFT

The Left is not just a movement: it is a state of mind. Like all evils, it will not vanish. Just when you think it might be on the way out, it emerges again. Its ideas rebound no matter how often they have been discredited because its seed is present in every human soul.

It will not disappear, because human nature is not about to change.

To fight the Left, we must beat it at its own game. The Left operates by infiltrating and corrupting our institutions, and the minds and hearts of a new generation. We must build better than they do, to uphold what they want to destroy, and to fight the inner battle for the soul of America. Then we will not simply be fighting out of outrage or pain, we will have something to fight for.

Daniel Greenfield, Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against the Left, pg.236

College is Ideologically Dangerous

The fundamentalist [by which he meant Christian] parents of our fundamentalist students think that the entire “American liberal Establishment” is engaged in a conspiracy…. These parents have a point…. When we American college teachers encounter religious fundamentalists, we do not consider the possibility of reformulating our own practices of justification so as to give more weight to the authority of the Christian scriptures. Instead, we do our best to convince these students of the benefits of secularization…. Rather, I think those students are lucky to find themselves under the benevolent Herrschaft [teaching] of people like me, and to have escaped the grip of their frightening, vicious, dangerous parents.

The LEFT Attacks Those Who Disagree

Anyone who studies the history of ideas should notice how much more often people on the political left denigrate and demonize those who disagree with them—instead of answering their arguments.

Thomas Sowell

What, Then, is leftism?

Leftism is the attempt to destroy the past — every value and every institution, the good as well as what it regards as the bad.

That is why leftists, by definition, hate conservatism. Conservatism seeks to conserve the best from the past. The Left seeks to destroy the past, including the best.

The first of the modern left-wing revolutions, the French Revolution, quite consciously sought to destroy every major institution and value of French society — not just the monarchy but God, religion, the legal system, traditional notions of good and evil, the calendar, the old way of telling time, the old weights and measures, and even the names of the days of the week. In other words, the past. Just like the Left in contemporary America, the leftists of the French Revolution toppled statues — in their case, the statues of every king of France.

The next major left-wing revolution, the Russian, did the same. As the Soviet dissident joke went, “In the Soviet Union the future is known; it’s the past which is always changing.”

Now you can begin to understand leftism.

New Religion?

LGBTQ is the new religion of worship of self. Pronouns are the new blasphemy.

The Irrational Indoctrination of Our Children By the LEFT

At the time in their lives when most people are the most easily indoctrinated -- approximately ages 18 to 22 -- young Americans hear only one message: If you want to be a rational person, you must abandon religion and embrace secularism. Most young Americans are never exposed to a countervailing view at any time in their college life. (That's why you should expose your college-aged child, grandchild, niece or nephew to this column.)

Yet, this alleged axiom is not only completely false, it's backwards. The truth is that today the secular have a virtual monopoly on irrational beliefs.

One proof is that colleges have become the most irrational institutions in the country. Not coincidentally, they are also the most secular institutions in our society. In fact, the former is a result of the latter.

Dennis Prager, Who's More Irrational -- The Religious or the Irreligious?

Control of the Language Needed by LEFTISTS

Language determines the realities we attend to. If certain words fall into desuetude, it means that certain realities have dropped from our attention as well. Words, for example, such as valor, nobility, honor, sanctity, chastity, and purity hang on to life but seem to be written in the past tense, as though the realities they refer to are remnants of some dim history. Such words appear rarely, if at all, in the vocabulary of social scientists or in the popular media. Other, more “relevant” words have edged them aside. For every purity that gets to print, there are a hundred needs, naturals, and sexuals to crowd them out.

What is perhaps most effective about such a technique is that it requires no confrontation. It does not deny the other realities. It by-passes them the way a superhighway bypasses a village so that after a while people forget that the village is there.

William Kirk Kilpatrick, Psychological Seduction: The Failure of Modern Psychology, pg.127-128

See a current example.

The LEFTIST Desire to Destroy Marriage and Family

The worst indecency of the totalitarian mind is that it wants to wipe out all special ties of emotion or allegiance such as might exist between husband and wife or parent and child. These kinds of loyalties threaten the only allegiance considered important, the one owed to Big Brother. It is in this atmosphere, of course, that children willingly denounce their parents to the secret police.

William Kirk Kilpatrick, Psychological Seduction: The Failure of Modern Psychology, pg.127

Liberate America's Children from Leftism

Totalitarians always use children to unleash evil because everyone else has been around long enough to know exactly how evil begins!  Psychopathic murderer Lenin infamously boasted, "Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."  Psychopathic murderer Mao taught grade-schoolers to torture their teachers during the Cultural Revolution.  Psychopathic murderer Hitler had his innocent-looking yet devilishly dangerous Hitler Youth.  Africa's psychopathic warlords have for decades recruited and enslaved child soldiers for their armies.  Today, psychopathic Antifa targets adolescents to fill the ranks of its shock troops, not at all different from the get-'em-while-they're-young recruiting strategies of criminal gangs.  Whenever and wherever in history young people have been told that they are smarter and more deserving than the older generations living beside them, they have been manipulatively used as a cheap supply of cannon fodder, a means to instigate murder and mayhem, and an army of gullible dopes too unworldly to protest.

LEFTISTS Despise Family

One can look in history or in literature to see the danger of where the idea of supplanting the family might lead. Study the education practices that existed in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany and that exist today in Communist China. Or read the terrifying account in Orwell’s 1984. They tell us that children, by distorting their natural desire to grow up and end their dependence, can be recruited to the purposes of despotic regimes, even to the extent of denouncing their parents to the state.
