New short essay.

Both socialism and Islam are parasitical fascist systems where the elite bosses feed as vampires upon the productive citizenry under their control. Under totalitarian Islamic Sharia Law, productive “people of the book” (Christians and Jews) are tolerated as “dhimmis” (officially subjugated 2nd class citizens) to the degree that the local emirs and sultans decree they should be tolerated. This allows the Muslim bosses to ease their grip or tighten it at will. In socialism this relationship finds many parallels.
For example, Lenin himself, during the disastrous “war Communism” period following the revolution and civil war, allowed the “New Economic Policy” or NEP, where a limited form of capitalism was permitted in order to get the flat-lining economy moving again. Once it was moving, the Communist bosses mass-murdered the successful NEPers, namely the so-called “Kulak class.” The Castros in Cuba have made similar moves over the decades, with Cuban NEPs cycling with harsh Communist crackdowns. Today in Venezuela the productive are tolerated in order to exploit their economic vigor, or they are rounded up and imprisoned, purely at the whim of the elite socialist bosses.
Under Islam, the local Muslim bosses can decide in one place and era to tolerate the dhimmis and exploit their economic vitality (Spain during “Al-Andalus” post 711AD), or wipe them out in a genocide (many examples, the Turkish genocide of the Armenians and other Christians during the early 20th century is just one). But the degree of freedom permitted to the subjugated dhimmis is totally up to the local Muslim power structure. From tolerance to genocide, all is permitted when it comes to Muslims dealing with infidels. The Muslim is always the master, the infidel is always the subjugated dhimmi.
This also is seen in Muslim marital relationships, and in their ownership of slaves. A Muslim husband or slave master can be a wonderful, enlightened and tolerant man, or he can be a ruthless exploiter, brutal rapist and even a killer. It is totally up to the master how he disposes of a slave, or a wife. That is the fate of the dhimmi under Islam. Your Muslim masters will hold your complete fate in their hands.
And leading elite Leftists are totally fine with that power structure. It’s very similar to how they see the world. In the view of the Left, the productive class consists of greedy exploiters who should be taxed heavily, in order to redistribute their ill-gotten wealth to the needy, poor and oppressed. In doling out this stolen largess, the elite bosses of socialism attain all power, and live like sultans and pashas.
In coming years, expect that leading progressive socialist leaders, who today mysteriously promote tolerance for and approval of massive Muslim immigration, will suddenly announce that they have discovered that Mohammed is the last messenger of world socialism, raise their right index fingers, and repeat the Shahada oath declaring their submission to Islam, while dreaming of both Marx and Mohammed.
And that is why the Left loves Islam. They both hate freedom and worship pure power.

Well said.
New short essay.
They love it because:
They both seek the elimination of Christianity and Judaism.
They are both totalitarian mind-control systems.
They both suppress the individual over the collectivity.
Many other reasons.
Thank you for posting the essay.
The Left would be the first to have their heads chopped off or be burned alive.
Socialist women bowing to the Burka?
To enslavement, torture, death of their own kind.
I don’t think so.
They want to use Islam as a bludgeon against others of their choice.
And they are stupid and ignorant.
Imagining themselves kneeling on a beach en masse and off go all of their heads, isn’t within them to imagine.
They think THEY are in charge of the U.S. and the World.
Fantasies of Utopia dance in their heads.
They’re good for nothing else.
Bump for reference.
I agree with everything in this article, but I think the heart of the matter is that the Left loves power more than anything else. Muslims are a new voting block that will always go for more entitlements and bigger centralized government (i.e. Democrats.)
If Evangelicals would promise to vote straight Democrat and support ever greater centralized government control and authority the Left would love us too.
You are totally wrong. I’m sorry. History is full of examples exactly as I lay it out. When it comes to fight or turn traitor to keep their power, they will suddenly discover how similar the goals of Islam and socialism are. It’s no problem for them at all. They will tell you that under Islam, everybody is cared for etc etc. And they already had no problem telling people how to live their lives. They just make some adjustments, take a Muslim name, and carry on in the same power positions. I’m not making this up. Every invaded city faced the danger of their leaders pulling a switch to save their skins. They will literally open the city gates at night to allow the final invasion to succeed. The next morning, surviving infidels discover that their mayor or prince is now calling himself by a name that includes Mohammed. Please, believe me. Atheists and socialists only worship power, they have no core principles. When it takes “reverting” to Islam to hold their power, they will do so. This is not conjecture, this is bitterly learned history from Mohammed’s time until now. Believe me.
Very astute post.
There is a difference. Evengelicals don’t organize under the premise that if you oppose them, ultimately they will cut off your head. Islam succeeds because the other side of the reward for treason, is being beheaded for being in opposition.
I can see by your well-meant observation that there is much that people don’t understand about the advance of Islam. We must EXPECT treason from our leaders. It’s too late to turn traitor AFTER the Muslims have conquered a city or nation. Traitors must sell out their people in secret BEFORE the final attack in order to retain their power in the aftermath.
This is not conjecture. This is 1,400 years of history. Islam always attracts unscrupulous traitors.
They love death. They hate life. This is how one distinguishes between those who seek to serve God and those who refuse.
You disagree that they are stupid and ignorant and have utopian fantasies dancing in their heads and enjoy what Islam is doing to certain others as long as it isn’t them?
That they fantasize that they are in charge of the World?
That reality is the very last thing they are about?
Ok.
You’re attacking the wrong person, but hey, I’m a big girl and I can take it, smile, and promptly forget.
Rush had a young lady call in yesterday saying she had a professor that said the same thing. That capitalism was necessary to jumpstart socialism. She said that’s why Harf is calling for jobs for Jihadis.
“Evengelicals don’t organize under the premise that if you oppose them, ultimately they will cut off your head.”
You are quite correct. I should have added to my post that in order for Evangelicals to become the darlings of the Left they would have to reject the fundamental tenants of Christianity. (Unfortunately this very thing is currently happening in the USA, but that’s a different discussion.)
My point is that the Left is so focused on acquiring more power and keeping the money flowing in that many of them don’t even care about the true nature of Islam. Obama knows all about Islam. I doubt that many of the countless Democrats who have helped him seize power do. They just know that this well-spoken black guy and his Saudi pals keep them wealthy and in power.
The Left and Islam have one major goal in common - to destroy Western Civilization whom they both view as the Great Satan. To that end, they are willing bedfellows.
You are missing my point. Socialist bosses have no core principals, they just mouth Marxist platitudes as a tool for accumulating power and wealth.
They will flip to Islam at the moment when they perceive their neck at risk, when they know that if they turn traitor they will not only keep their power, they will gain more.
This happens over and over. It has happened for 1,400 years. It’s not just socialists, its any unprincipled bosses who desire to keep and expand power.
Just wait and see. You will see mayor after mayor in Europe announce their conversion as the black flags draw near. I’m not making this up.
Quite correct. And the both believe their vision will emerge on top. But when Islam ultimately overthrows former regimes, the bosses of the old regimes will routinely turn traitor to preserve their power.
The Left loves Islam since they view it as a serious threat to destroy what they despise the most, Judeo-Christian based Western civilization.
“You will see mayor after mayor in Europe announce their conversion as the black flags draw near.”
You are correct, but this will be a short-lived phenomenon. Many large European cities will have majority Muslim populations within a decade or two, so there won’t be any non-Muslim mayors elected in the first place.
At the end of the day demographics are going to settle this in Europe. The native Europeans just aren’t having babies. This is the true fruit of secular liberal socialism. Europeans are aborting and buggering themselves into extinction, and the replacement population is eagerly waiting in the wings.
