Subversion is one of the most attractive points of left-wing ideology - it's one reason it's so attractive to young people and something the old ones never seem to grow out of (Bill Ayers, for example). It's usually cost-free for strong Western societies built to accommodate differences of opinion and free speech regarding them.

Success, however, is subversion's worst enemy. Where it succeeds in breaking down the parent society we have the French and the Russian revolutions and the succeeding suppression of free speech and totalitarian military dictatorships. Not, of course, what the old-school revolutionaries were actually after but mostly they're dead by then anyway (e.g. Marat, Robespierre, and Trotsky). Those who are left to deal with it tend to curse their irresponsible progenitors. Leftism in its current manifestation of multiculturalism is profoundly irresponsible, stubborn, dogmatic, and utterly blind to the impending consequences.

But it's all about the destruction of the status quo and a vision of what follows that never materializes. The Muslim track record of this is actually considerably better than that of the Western left - at least it actually has formed more or less stable societies, however vicious and oppressive they turned out to be to individual freedom. The Left has never even managed that.

Liberalism is rooted in and based upon man, starting with himself to establish a base for culture and for Law. Since he has nothing greater than himself to build upon, the integrity of that structure depends upon how those in charge happen to be feeling at any point in time. When Stalin woke up with a headache, somewhere in Ukraine a small city was wiped out. But Islam, wretched though it is, nevertheless has a system of absolutes that cannot be changed to suit the political winds. It is therefore, structurally superior to any of the liberal, humanistic European systems it is currently devouring. Only a Restored Israel, built upon the Eternal Torah is capable of resisting, and then, destroying Islam and any other force that may be hurled against it. So let me invite you all dear readers; come home to Torah, the real Messiah, and join us in the fight to bring the Geulah, the Redemption of Israel, and the Nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
